Margaret and a Coin? Harry's father murder?
groinkick:
Rereading Fool Moon. Chauncy states that the underworld was awaiting margaret's arrival, but the Dark Prince lost her. Also mentioned her redemption. Does this sound like she may have been holding a Coin? Redemption to me sounds much like someone giving up a Coin. Or was she destined to hell for other reasons? If she did have a Coin this does increase the chances of Malcolm being a KOTC, if even for just a day.
Chauncy also said that Harry's father's death was unnatural. This does indicate a murder to me. If so who did it? Why? Was he a victim of Nicodemus, and his killing curse? Lord Raith? Justin? Leah? The list could be a lengthy one.

That's what I'm going with. Probably just general badness.
My money is on Justin for Malcom's murder, but that's just a WAG. I don't think he was anything other than a stage magician.

Justin has my vote, too. And Malcolm doesn't have to be anything more than a stage magician for it to make sense.
Killing Malcolm frees up Harry and puts him in the system, where Justin can easily keep track of him and wait. If and when Harry shows any magical talent, Justin can swoop in and "rescue" him -- Harry's years of loneliness and hurt in the system, where he's been craving familial love and a father figure, would make him ripe for Justin to manipulate.
We see that in Ghost Story -- the couple times that Justin actually acts like a father toward Harry mean the world to him.
I would give it good odds that Elaine's parents died in similarly mysterious circumstances.

Could Margaret have been Black Council?

Before she met Malcolm she may have at the very least toyed with the idea. After all, in her mind what did she have to lose? The Wardens were after her, most likely she would have lost her head. She was pissed in general at the "system," she was living with the ruler of the White Court, had a kid by him, hung out with a lot of other unsavory characters.. She may have even been one of the charter members of the Black Council for that matter..
