Will Harry Have to Come Clean?

If you want to have a criminal who is locked up in a foreign country you ask the government of that country not the governor of the local prison.

Yeah, but why should Mab listen to Etri? Under Faerie rules, rescuing Thomas was a favor given to Lara. I don't think Mab is going to go back on that.
Also it could be argued that Warden of Demonreach is a position Harry holds entirely separately from his position as Winter Knight...
I mean, the Svartalves are nothing to mess with lightly, but I can't see them having any leverage over Mab.
If Harry had been spotted rescuing Thomas during the talks, it would have been an embarrassment/loss of face to Mab. But now, especially given that the actual talks are now irrelevant?

Marcone soul gazed Harry. He knows Harry would go ballistic if he messes with Karin that way and I don’t think the svartalves are even interested in Karin. They were not interested in the Fomor servants in bombshells. They go for Lara as the responsible one.

However when they soul gazed that was back in Storm Front, Harry and Murphy were barely friends, more along the line of professional colleagues. Now as a possible future, that is if Marcone knew what he was looking at in the first place, it might have Harry and Murphy as lovers, but I doubt he'd have seen anything then that would tip him off that Harry would go ballistic if he messed with her.
That doesn't mean to say that he doesn't have more current information that tells him how Harry would react.
The_Sibelis:
I don't think he needs to know they're lovers to know Harry will go ape sh*t for his friends.

Well yes, in the end Lara is the one to handle the diplomatic fallout though maybe the first favor was for Mab to help exactly with that.
ClintACK:
Remember that all Harry has done is move Thomas from a prison cell *in which he was dying* to one in which he's held in stasis. If the politics are handled properly, the svartalves might owe a debt for that -- the transfer and rescue have spared them the dishonor of having Thomas die in their custody waiting for trial.
Regardless of where Thomas is, I expect the svartalves will want an emissary appointed and a hearing held to rule on the attack. That's the point at which it would be really helpful if Harry could present them with the actual culprit and evidence of what happened.
