  Can you spell...
(click to show/hide)   Set up?  Hmmmm, the trailer with Marcone and Harry together makes sense now.  He is clearly going to blackmail Harry into helping him.  Actually didn't Harry bring up the bloody mess they left at the bank in Skin Game?  I thought the claim was Marcone and Mab had good cleaning crews.

Well, if they want sex, until she heals, Harry needs to let Murphy be on top .. ;)

The future doesn't look bright physically for Murphy, so I look for her to die heroically lots of guilt for Harry..  Funny him trying to talk himself out of a guilt trip because of Murphy... While yeah, she was there because of him, it was her own decisions with the Holy Sword that got her hurt.

The pressure cooker is certainly building 5 chapters in - looking forward to next week!

SpacedCowboy:

To be honest, one of the features I like least about the series is Harry’s wallowing in self-blame. He blames himself for pretty much everything bad that happens to anyone, and a little of that can be endearing, but overload it too much and you start to take agency away from others.

Murphy was there because she chose to be there, and due to a whole bunch of involvement with her and Harry leading up to it. Sure, if she’d never met Harry, she’d not have been there, but the choices she made since meeting Harry were her own, sometimes pointedly so when Harry tried to protect her.

It’s a small niggle, I love the books, but it gets a bit old reading the same reaction, especially regarding women. *They think too*, Harry!

(rant over :) )

Seems like the pace of the books isn’t diminishing. We’re 5 chapters in and just about everything that could apply pressure to Harry *has* applied pressure. Can’t wait for the 14th :)

Walter the skull:
I didn't think that Harry and Murphy suspected that Rudolph worked for Marcone.  It was pretty clear in Changes that he was unknowingly working for the Red Court.  I suppose Rudolph can just be generally corrupt and work for the highest bidder. 

I have a few ideas about who might be behind this. 

We know of two people who have influence in local government, Lara and Marcone.  We know Lara has a relative at the DA's office, Tania.  Marcone probably has a DA on payroll too.

Nicodemus would know where to point the cops and has reason to go after both Harry and Murphy.

Mab, would also know where to point the cops, and isn't above blackmailing Harry to do her bidding.

Mavra, has used pictures of Murphy to blackmail Harry in the past.  I don't know how she would know about the bank job, but it is possible.  It's kind unlikely because Harry knows Kemmler's method of dealing with the Black Court.

Lastly, given what Ebenezer said, someone working for either the white or black council.
