1. We have been told that Nicodemus has a very specific target in mind, ostensibly kept in the Labyrinth of Daedalus. What is Nic trying to get his hands on and why?
Something destructive. He wont reveal what it is until they get there. It wont be outright obviously powerful something subtle and overlooked.
2. Nicodemus apparently called in a marker from Mab to get Harry on the team. Does he have a specific plan for using Harry or did Mab twist his request? Which of Harry's capabilities will he admit to needing, and (given that this is Nicodemus after all), which abilities is he scheming for Harry to use?
He wants Harry because he has been dead. Im sure that would give him advantages in the underworld.
3. Jim has mentioned that the book will be "Ocean's Eleven". Who else did Nicodemus recruit? How will they interact with Harry?
Denarians, Murphy will be Harrys number 2, Fix maybe to keep the summer/winter balance, the hellhound, a vampire maybe mavra.
4. Harry's general method of operation is to call on his friends for help. In this book, Harry is (initially) allowed one extra backup member on the crew. Who will it be? Which of Harry's other allies will "interfere" before the plot is over? Murphy not sure.
6. Mab is apparently against Nicodemus succeeding in this heist. In the Cold Days, we found that Mab had complex reasons for wanting Harry to kill Maeve. What are Mab's reasons in this book? Is it simple thwarting or is there something deeper?
She wants whatever is in the vault and to put one over on nick for the having the cheek to call in the marker like this. Also winter seem to be getting stronger, with the *winter knight* eliminating the red court, this would be a good way to continue this power play with a victory over the denarians.
8. One of the key components of the "Ocean's Eleven" movie is that there is a final twist/reveal. Given that we've got Nicodemus, Harry, Mab, and potentially Hades (and who knows who else) all trying to get the better of each other, if there's one thing you can count on it's some sort of last minute quintuple-cross. What will be the nature of the twist and how will it all fall out?
Betrayal. Murphy uncertain with whats going on takes up the sword betrays harry and takes the item. Or mab betrays Harry after he betrays nick. Or maybe lash comes out at the wrong time and betrays harry to the denarians by incapacitating him at the wrong moment.
