True.. :o
:-[ In rereading last night I discovered that it was "pub" not "pup" that Marcone was threatening.
So Mouse is in no danger.. :-[ However one has to wonder why Macone would threaten to close neutral territory as designated by the Accords? Then again was that Marcone or Namshiel talking?
Another thought, much of the dialogue in those chapters was very much in the manner of both the movie and the book "The Godfather.."
One more interesting factoid, Mab sent Mr Winter Winter to the mortal world to practice law just after Arctus Tor was attacked.. Me thinks this will be brought up again in a later book.. ::)
Conspiracy Theorist:
The Athame was the source of Nemfection in Winter, the attack was to free the Nemfected Lea. Did she think Nameless or Laplander were potential vectors from Lea? Maeve was the last known Nemfected member of Winter, or that they may me used by Maeve? She had Recap spying on Maeve before her infection.
There is definitely something more going on. Nameless is clearly bound by Winter Law OR is content to give that impression for the moment. Does she think him a sleeper for someone else? The Circle perhaps? Do we have a new candidate for Cowl? Or is he a separate member.
Cowl knew Bob contained the Word of Kemmler, Nameless worked with Kemmler rather than as an Heir so would have known about Bob, and Nameless has a honking great Bear Spirit Skull in his office. Was Justin working for Nameless? As a lawyer he could have made Harry legally disappear with Justin, he could have bound Justin like he did Laplander, or used Laplander to do this for him when Kemmler was finally apprehended. Justin now bound takes Bob and waits for the next Starborn to appear. This may make the Elaine is Kumori theory much stronger. As a Demi -god, Nameless is much stronger than a wizard but still weaker than Mab. That fits Cowl. The Word would fix this, powering up Nameless to full godhood and capable of overpowering Mab breaking the link to Winter perhaps? That the Future Winter Knight prevents this is very apt. It parallels Butters own future Knighthood in the same book, whic was deliberately commented upon in Skin Game. Sacrificing the Erl King a Vassal of Mab in the power up and the rest of the Wild Hunt weakens Mab.
This is why the Circle and Outsiders are working together, they both want Mab weakened.
My favourite candidate for Cowl is now Nameless. I need to re-read the Nameless/Harry interactions.

If he was, he was astoundingly polite to Harry, given the way the two parted the last time.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Big clue as regards someone new working with Kemmler who would know about Bob, and a powerful new character both in the same Novella, in what is otherwise an inconsequential case. Is this Jim thumbing his nose at the readers?
You have to wonder what Nameless has been doing since Arctis Tor and why Chicago. He is working for Marcone, but for how long? Nicky targeted Marcone since Small Favour, when Marcone took Namshiel’s coin. As a member of Winter Nameless would have potentially had access from Arctis Tor (via the ice Dungeon Lea was in) to Demonreach through the NeverNever, a route I posit the Gatekeeper used. Exiling him from Arctis Tor blocked him from using that route. Maeve then used it in Turncoat to take Peabody and the Spiders to the Island, and that exposed her to Mab as Nemfected.
I have also posited a Denarian member of the Circle at Arctis Tor, a rogue Nicky doesn’t know about and a hidden faction amongst the Denarians. If that was Namshiel is that a connection? Nameless is the best lawyer in town, so Marcone would hire him and pay top dollar anyhow.

Peabody got himself to Demonreach. Harry hired Vince to get photographic evidence of it.
