Per (Dead Beat):

"She never got it. In that single second of uncertainty, Corpsetaker had been relying upon her disguise to defend her, and had her mind bent upon planning her next step-not preparing her death curse. The bullet from my.44 hit her just over her right cheekbone."

OK, I am reading the series for the second time and have a couple of questions.

1) Why did agent Benn's Hexbelt turn to goo (Fool Moon), everyone elses had to be burned? 

2) When Harry buried Lasciel's coin (Death Masks); why didn't the wet cement disrupt the circle? Harry broke the Shadowmans circle with a film canister.

Thanks

I hope it's not bad form to answer your own posts; but here I go anyway. I finished rereading (Proven Guilty) which states.

 "A ring of plain silver was set into the floor-my summoning circle. Underneath it lay a foot and a half or so of concrete, and then another heavy metal box, wrapped with its own little circle of wards and spells. Inside the box was a blackened silver coin."

So it looks like this is one of those minor inconsistencies. Like when Luccio is shot in the cheek in one book and then referenced as being shot in the back of the head in another. It makes me wonder though; how high/low a circle extends and why the box lid didn't break it?

Didn't he draw a circle around the wet cement? And its not the object that breaks the circle, its the will behind it.

Nope!
"I dropped the coin into the hole. I slipped a steel ring about three inches across around it. I muttered to myself and willed
energy into the ring. The whispering abruptly cut off.
I dumped two buckets of cement into the hole and smoothed it until it was level with the rest of my floor. After that, I
hurried out of the lab and shut the door behind me."

Curator's note:  This topic contains a lot of great discussion on the nature of the Prison Harry built for Lasciel's coin.
