Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the following novels does not feature Detective John Corey as the main character?

Answer: Up Country

The hero in "Up Country" was Paul Brenner. "Plum Island" was the first book where we meet Detective Corey, and "Wild Fire" was the most recent of his series.

2. In which novel does Detective Corey meet Kate Mayfield?

Answer: The Lion's Game

John had not yet met Agent Mayfield in "Plum Island", and they were already together in "Night Fall". "The Gate House" is not a John Corey novel.

3. Susan Stanhope is married to which Nelson DeMille character?

Answer: John Sutter

Susan Stanhope is married to John Sutter when the couple meets their new neighbor Frank Bellarosa in DeMille's "The Gold Coast". Paul Brenner and Asad Khalil are in different novels.

4. Most of the events in DeMille's "Cathedral" take place on what celebrated day?

Answer: St. Patrick's Day

Cathedral takes place in midtown Manhattan, where St. Patrick's Cathedral is located, during the St. Partick's Day parade as a political statement by the IRA.

5. Which Nelson DeMille novel was made into a feature film starring John Travolta?

Answer: The General's Daughter

"Word of Honor" starred Don Johnson, "Plum Island" has not been made into a movie and "A Civil Action" was not based on a Nelson DeMille novel.

6. Which character in DeMille's "The Gate House" was shot by Susan Stanhope?

Answer: Anthony Bellarosa

Susan shot Frank Bellarosa in the first Stanhope-Sutter novel, "The Gold Coast". Her sins against John Sutter were limited to infidelity, and Kate Mayfield was not a character in this novel.

7. In the book "Wild Fire", in what resort did Detective John Corey spend over a thousand dollars per night and try to stick it to the Anti-Terrorist Task Force?

Answer: The Point

The Point, a high-end resort on Upper Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks, was recommended by a clerk at the Adirondack Regional Airport. When John asked "What's The Point?" it began a cute "who's on first" type banter which Kate Mayfield did not find very amusing at all.

8. In which Nelson DeMille novel did the events culminate on the morning of September 11, 2001 in downtown Manhattan?

Answer: Night Fall

Spoiler Alert- At the end of "Night Fall", when the parties were getting ready to meet at Windows of the World on top of the World Trade Center, the 9/11 attack occurred destroying all evidence of the investigation into TWA Flight 800 as well as many important characters. We learn in the epilogue how everyone was affected by the days events.

9. Who is Asad Khalil's final target in "The Lion's Game"?

Answer: Ronald Reagan

Asad Khalil tries to assassinate Ronald Reagan, who he holds responsible for the death of his entire family in the 1986 bombing raid of Libya by the US Air Force.

10. Who is the main antagonist that Officer Brenner keeps trying to elude in the book "Up Country"?

Answer: Colonel Mang

Karl Hellmann is the colleague who sends Paul on this mission in the first place, Susan Weber is ex-pat who helps him find his way around Vietnam, and Tran Van Vinh is the soldier who witnessed the murder that Paul is investigating.
