Read the previous 11 books of the Dresden Files. Read all the stories in Side Jobs and Brief Cases that pre-date this book in internal chronology. You will then know exactly what's going on in the Harry Dresden universe and exactly what to expect from Jim Butcher in installment #12. Grab this one and start reading. Pay no attention to the increasingly louder train whistles or the fact that you're standing in railroad tracks...
Was that metaphor too clumsy? Fine. This book will hit you like a speeding ton of bricks.
