I see that the question of who hit Harry's car is starred. Who do we have doing it and what clues led us there? Just wondering because it's been bothering me for a while.

Problem is we weren't really given any clues... though the car is reminiscent of the car that Quintus Cassius was driving, obviously he's not longer alive...

This may have already been answered but I didn't have time to read the whole thread, is there a Mysteries Solved page? I am sure at least a few have been solved. Thanks
very respectfully,
Kim :)

I think the speculation is that it was Madrigal Raith (and also Madrigal who planted the bomb in Murphny's car).

My specualtion si that the same person did all four attempts

car

car bomb

hired gun

rifle shot

Yeah, but Germans and Hungarians don't pull people's theories out of their sockets when they're challenged.  Ducks are known to do that.

Nope, the stars meant we had some kind of working theory on it. But anyway, no one seems to have an answer for me. Madrigal doesnt make real sense for me because it happens before Madrigal even comes on to the scene in proven guilty and Thomas mentions it at the end of that book as a loose end. I feel like if it was Madrigal it would have come up somewhere in that book

I put down a fairly serious theory a while back that it was mavra, based on the old sherlock holmes 'eliminate the impossible' idea.

it would not have been a wizard who could plant a car bomb, for example. :)

the other point on the idea was 'of the suspects, who could be a major threat in ghost story' and again, Mavra.

this is probably why it is starred.

This could mean Thomas knows who did it but is somehow prohibited from telling Harry, so he tries to get Harry thinking about it so he can help him figure it out without breaking his word. He's played that game before.

Good point. he's played that game a few times, i think. he's good at it by now.

Also, mavra has possibly enough magical talent as a minor wizard, so the bomb would have gone off if she set it, as well. 'spose she could have had one of her cronies do it, though

It is only mortal magic that messes with tech, vamps can do all the like with technology and cast magic all day.
