I would assume she took greater control of the paranet but she was already running things on her side of the country before Harry's untimely, if not permanent, demise. She was definitely hiding something from him in White Night, so that would be a second question: What was Elaine hiding from Harry? ...

This has been a burning question for me as well. We haven't checked in with any wizards at all since the end of Changes (not counting Molly), and haven't seen Elaine for a few books, so I'm hoping she'll drop in for Peace Talks as a representative of the Paranet. Maybe as kind of a witness, someone to speak for the Paranetters who've been taken by the Fomor? Hell, maybe Peace Talks could start the process of the Paranet becoming a signatory of its own.
--- Quote ---How did Harry's father die? To put it more bluntly and to the point, who killed Malcolm Dresden and why; and does anyone else know what really happened and has withheld this information from Harry? I could see Lea, Mab, Ebenezer, and maybe some of the other Senior Council members knowing the truth even if they were not responsible for the crime. One or more might have even known it would happen beforehand and decided it was for the best to let Malcolm die. There's a reason this issue has been with us since book 2 when it was introduced by Chaunzaggoroth. I think the repercussions when Harry eventually faces this issue and learns the truth will be enormous.

Agreed. I want more Malcolm. Or at least more about Malcolm.
Could be a book about Harry and Murphy both finding out about their fathers, and what killed them. It doesn't have to be the same thing for both (in fact, I think that'd be a little TOO far), but both of them discovering things about their past would be cool.

Interesting idea about fathers' deaths.

I've been thinking along similar lines myself. At one time; before we knew anything about Peace Talks beyond the title, I thought we might see Elaine telling Harry that he needs to find away to make certain the talks don't succeed, or perhaps taking actions to throw the talks into chaos herself. I doubt most members of the paranet will be happy about the idea of the White Council making peace with the Fomor. Especially a peace which would allow the Fomor to continue abducting low level magic users.
I like the idea of Harry and Murphy finding out what really happened to their father's in the same book. Even though I doubt they would be directly related to one another, the answers to both mysteries might provide each other both contrast and added depth.

I speculated a while back that it was a member of the White Court who killed Murphy's dad. The family that feeds on despair
Quantus:
Iirc correctly there was a WOJ that implied a "Murphy Funeral" scene in Peace Talks. Most of us expect this to be something entirely different than the obvious (Karin Murphy DIES), so I was originally thinking maybe Mama Murphy dies of perfectly Mundane causes, but it throws Karin for a very understandable loop and maybe even prompts harry to reveal what little he knows about the Black Cats and Capt Jack o' the Angels. Now Im wondering if it will be a flashback to her fathers funeral?
