Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who was the detective killed at the book's beginning?

Answer: Detective Coltraine

Detective Amaryllis Coltraine was a detective that first appeared in "Origin in Death". She was killed in the basement of her apartment building believing her ex-boyfriend had her killed.

2. What did Roarke give Eve as an early anniversary gift?

Answer: Her own vehicle

Roarke surprised Eve with a gift of the DLE Urban. He had her vehicle tricked out with everything she would need to use it as her police issued vehicle including a dull color so it wouldn't stand out. The DLE Urban stood for Dallas, Lieutenant Eve Urban. Her vehicle would be the only one of its kind.

3. Who was the dead detective dating at the time of their death?

Answer: Medical Examiner Li Morris

Li Morris and Amaryllis Coltraine's relationship became evident in "Origin in Death". Eve always wanted to have her checked out, but never did because Coltraine always put a smile on Li's face. After her death, Eve learned that Amaryllis was ready to settle down with Li.

4. According to Summerset, how old was Roarke when he stole his first vehicle?

Answer: Twelve

Roarke wasn't aware that Summerset knew he had stolen and crashed a vehicle when he was twelve. Roarke also didn't know that Summerset was aware of Roarke hiding the vehicle in the garage of Mick's uncle. Summerset reminded Roarke that it was many years later before Roarke stole another vehicle.

5. What was the name of Max Ricker's son?

Answer: Alex

Alex took the main focus in this story because the case had to do with his former girlfriend and his father. Alex dated Amaryllis Coltraine for two years before she left him and moved to New York. Eve wasn't aware that Morris didn't know Amaryllis knew or dated Alex Ricker.

6. Who was the first to suggest for Eve and Roarke's second anniversary that they go away together?

Answer: Eve

Eve made the suggestion that they take a few days to get away on their second anniversary. Roarke wanted a month away with her. Eve couldn't take a month but asked for two and a half weeks. Roarke went along with the idea and Eve realized that was Roarke's goal all along.

7. At Louise's bridal shower, what did Eve compare Roarke to in bed?

Answer: Wolf

Eve didn't want to play the game, but when Nadine said she bet Roarke was like a panther, Eve said he was a wolf. Mira said that was a good choice because wolves mate for life.

8. What items of the dead detective did Eve receive at Cop Central from the killer?

Answer: Badge and weapon

A box with Coltraine's weapon and badge was sent to Eve along with a message that after Eve's death her weapon and badge would be sent to someone else. Eve told Roarke it was the ultimate betrayal to be killed with your own weapon.

9. Who did Eve find out killed the detective?

Answer: Detective Cleo Grady

Eve was looking at Detective Coltraine's squad at the 18th for the one that killed her. She was correct in looking there and found that Cleo Grady had killed Coltraine after getting her out of the apartment on a false lead.

10. In a shocking twist, what relationship did Eve learn the killer had to Max Ricker?

Answer: Daughter

Eve learned through a blood sample Morris gathered that Cleo Grady was the daughter of Max Ricker. Alex never knew he had a half-sibling until Eve confirmed it for him. Max hated Cleo and Eve let her know it. She was jealous of Coltraine and wanted her dead. Cleo wanted to kill Coltraine in Atlanta, but Max told her to hold off because it wasn't good timing.
