Can anyone explain to me, why on Earth didn't Dresden ask Billy and the Alpha pack to help with Marvra's nest? Surely they would be more up to the task,than Murphy.

For example, when he first meets Murphy, he lays on the chauvinist asshole act pretty thick, so he can test her ability to keep her temper and also get a real sense of her skills. It may be that the "strong, silent type" act is put on for Ivy's benefit, or that the chatty, snarky side we see in this book is in response to Harry.(less)
