Discontinuity = clue? [GS sample ch spoilers]

My first thought isn't much fun. but it is to the point. I just thought that Mort moved the business out of his house and into it's own location. It makes sense, that way it explains the two houses and why it's the old one again, and if Mort was going to get more involved again he needed a stronger threshold for his home. Move the work out and it should go back to normal after a while I would think.
It just seems the most logical what with Harry saying working out of, not moved into a duplex.

Ah, here we go, Chapter 36 of Grave Peril is where Harry makes a ghost
--- Quote ---"Technically," my ghost said. "Harry actually died for a minute. Don't you remember how ghosts are made? Normally, there wouldn't be enough latent energy to create an impression like me, but with him being a wizard - a real wizard, not a petty fake like you - and with the border to the Nevernever in such a state of flux, it was pretty much inevitable."

His home was in half thd duplex. Harry even woke him up at 3 in the morning there.
Quoting the whole DB passage:
--- Quote from: DB ch. 10 --- I got into the SUV and headed out to speak to the only person in Chicago who knew as much aboutmagic and death as I did.
Mortimer Lindquist had done pretty well for himself over the past couple of years, and he'd moved out of the little California-import stucco ranch house he'd been in the last time I'd gone to visit him. Now he was working out of a converted duplex in Bucktown. Mort leased both halves of the duplex, and ran his business on one side, with his home on the other. There were no cars in the business driveway, though he mostly operated at night. He must have already wrapped up for the evening. He had abandoned the faux-Gothic decor that had previously graced his place of business, which was a hopeful sign. I needed the help of someone with real skill, not a charlatan with a batch of gimmicks.
...
[After knocking on the "residential" enterance] "It's three o'clock in the morning," Mort complained. "What the hell do you=" He saw my face and his eyes widened in panic. He hurried to shut the door.

There's more that's pertinant to the discussion, but I'm not sure how much is acceptable to quote.

Huh, well that's what I get for not being able to look it up, I lent out the earlier books to hook friends on the crack get friends interested in Harry. :D
Bones:
Far-fetched, but DB is the book where Lash was creating elaborate constructs that Harry fully believed. Although, why she would want to create an illusion concerning where Morty lived/worked is beyond me, but still, there's a lot of disinformation Harry's getting through Lash for a good chunk of DB.
