The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Lara Raith killed Malcolm Dresden
Bad Alias:
I still wouldn't say know because I think we know very little beyond the obvious from PG, but Black Council is more likely than most. Sandra Marlin was definitely up to no good and working for/affiliated with someone.

An aneurysm is similar in that both can be set off by similar activities and emotional stresses, so I wouldn't be surprised if aneurysms were what happened most often when it wasn't heart failure.
He did examine several in WN. One of which didn't have obvious signs of suicide.
Lea has a motive as this leads to Harry being greatly in her debt.

Lea does not even have the means. She had to protect Harry and killing his father does not fit. She needed a deal with Harry to harm him and that does not fit either. Lea is just too far fetched. Certainly not yet crazy from dagger Lea. It is a level of direct interference in human affairs that needs a deal. With Malcolm.
--- Quote ---It probably wasn't Justin, or, if it was, he wasn't acting on his own because where's the dramatic pay off in that? It's going to be a character Harry can confront.

He is the only one with the means and a clear motive. He who walks behind is the character Harry is going to confront.
--- Quote ---Black Council or Black Court? I read it as Black Court at first and would strongly object to the use of know in that instance.

Context. It must be black council here.

3. Whoever was in cahoots with Justin, and dissappeared Harry into the system.
Number 3 is the most likely and that I think is the Merlin, recent WOJ indicates that the Merlin has been trying to manipulate Harry for years. Justin was a trusted senior Warden, exactly the person the Merlin would go to if he didn’t trust Lucio or Morgan in respect of Harry. It would be apt that the Merlin is guilty of a deliberate premeditated breach of the first law in killing Malcom Dresden having hounded Harry for a breach in self defence. The Merlin strikes me as a hypocrite of the first order.

It is only a violation if the Merlin used magic - what if he recruited/hired a Whamp to do Malcolm? Malcolm could have a smile on his face... but blood from his ear in an aneurysm. Seen the bleeding happen myself. Maybe vamp saliva spikes the blood pressure higher and higher... until something pops....
Not Lara, though. Too high connections. Someone lower in the hierarchy - why use a princess when a commoner can do the job... and is more easily vanished later if need be? That Whamp may have been playing a power game trying to gain prestige from playing the White Court... until she was played.

I've seen plenty of people say that Lea would think it was in Harry's best interest to have his father killed. See what Lily says about Lea being Harry's godmother and what she taught him in CD.

I don't see the big pay off with the revelation that an unspeakable evil is evil. It makes sense from a Watsonian perspective, but not from a Doylist.

When I read it, I immediately recalled the theory that Sandra Marlin was Mavra.

Because it's a character Harry knows. Makes him feel betrayed.

But similar rules seem to apply in grave peril when Lea showed she had the power to heal him it was scary. It was because of their deal.
A deal can give the Sidhe power over you they normally do not have
