Chapter 5 Drop

Marcone most likely does not know what Harry brought from Hades and Harry would like to keep it that way.
Bringing it out and let it work for three days might attract enemies. Anduriel might be watching for just such an occasion and powerful entities may be able to sense something. The whole thing is not without danger.
Harry is busy at the moment. Maggie is more important.

OTOH we know Anduriel can be blocked by sufficient power. Maybe he literally can't see those artifacts.
Though I suppose it's easy to imagine Harry just not risking it.

He cannot see them at Michael's place, nor if Mab is blocking him, I imagine he cannot see them on Demonreach either.

The Shroud of Turin isn't Harry's personal healing service. It cheapens the idea of what it is, if you simply expect to lay it on someone and see them pop up and get back to it. Harry told Marcone that he didn't think the Shroud worked that way in Death Masks.

That is what Kringle said in Skin Game but he can see it being moved between those places so I think Nicodemus suspect or knows it is on the island.

Agreed, though if it could have helped the young woman Harry would have gone along with it. Which he did, also saying he didn't think it worked that way. That is what confused me because the impression given at the end of Death Masks is that was the real Shroud. However it also makes sense since Harry or most on the planet didn't know that the real one was locked safely away in a vault in Hades.
I don't think it cheapens the idea of the Shroud as something that can heal, but it makes it too easy for Harry to heal Murphy. Actually he could have already have done so if it could be used, since it appears that her recovery is neither going as rapidly as hoped or be as complete as hoped. Jim is setting something up with Murphy, if he follows his usual pattern, happiness and contentment won't be the end result.
