Cassius trashed Harry's car with the bat, because Harry had trashed him with a bat. I have no clue who fixed Little Chicago, but I'm guessing Lea (Harry's Godmother). It would be like her to cross from the Nevernever into Harry's lab, and if she noticed that Little Chicago would fry his brain, she'd probably fix it, since that would be in keeping with her bargain with Harry's mom.



Pretty sure it was the Eebs. Harry mentioned that Esmerelda's eyes could make the assassin believe he had been hired by Mister Snuffleupagus, if that's what they wanted. That fits with their previous MO: keep making attempts on Harry's life, wear him down until an attempt succeeds.



I think the reason that hasn't happened yet is because Harry usually has something major going on at the same time, so there's not really much opportunity for revealing conversations. In Summer Knight, when he and Rashid are talking, Harry has to stop a war between the Faerie Courts. In Turn Coat, there's about to be a meeting between the White Council, the White Court, Shagnasty, and whatever opposition the traitor brings to bear. And once everything is over, the questions he would ask tend to get lost in the haze of "I'm still alive!"





He had a cane sword carved with runes that he used in the fight against Papa Raith in Blood Rights. I assume it went up in flames with his apartment in Changes. The only things that survived were the Swords, Bob the Skull, Mister, and Mouse.

November can't come soon enough. We get the novella "Aftermath" set 45 minutes after the end of Changes, from Murphy's point of view. And April of next year, hopefully, we get the next book in the series, Ghost Story.
