Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Captain Patti O'Shay lost her husband, Sammy, to the killer. What was Sammy's badge number?

Answer: 364

She is the head of the Investigative Support Division of the New Orleans Police Department. His body was found by his car at Audubon Place, an exclusive community of 28 mansions, including the one owned by the president of Tulane University. His badge was found in the grave of the City Park Jane Doe, who turned out to be Jessica Skye.
2. What relation is Detective Spencer Malone to Patti O'Shay?

Answer: Nephew

He is also her godson. Most of the Malones have been involved in law enforcement at one time or another.
3. At what club in New Orleans does Stacy Killian go undercover?

Answer: The Bourbon Street Hustle

Stacy is Spencer's live-in girlfriend. She has been sent in as part of an undercover drug sting. Her cover is Brandi.
4. There appears to be two killers operating. Who are they?

Answer: The Handyman and The Artist

The Handyman takes the right hand of his victims. At the start of the book the discovery of six hands in a refrigerator abandoned after Hurricane Katrina sets off the investigation. The Artist appears to be targeting dancers at the Bourbon Street Hustle club.
5. Tonya Messinger, the talent manager at the dance club, has a distinctive vehicle. What is it?

Answer: Orange VW Beetle

When Yvette goes looking for Tonya, her first clue that things aren't quite right is seeing the Beetle outside Tonya's apartment. (I have seen a pink Hummer on Interstate 10 around New Orleans).
6. Who is the target of the drug sting at the dance club?

Answer: Marcus Gabrielle

He is a commercial real estate broker, and drug dealer. Tony Sciame is Spencer Malone's partner, known by him as Pasta Man. Rene Baxter is a cop who went undercover at "The Hustle" as a barman. Ted Parish is a real barman at the club who turned informant after being busted for dealing methamphetamine.
7. Who reports that her room mate, Kitten Sweet, may have been a victim?

Answer: Yvette Borger

She is the girlfriend of Marcus, and the reason that Stacy goes undercover. Stacy was meant to get close to her in order to get next to Marcus. Elizabeth Walker is a bone expert with the coroner's office. Alison Mackenzie is a forensic sculptor with LSU FACE. Lucia Gonzales is a forensic psychologist with the department.
8. June and Riley Benson own an art gallery. What is the name of that gallery?

Answer: Pieces

An upscale gallery in New Orleans, they have a showing of art by Shauna M. She is the younger sister of Spencer Malone. An arson attack discloses the body of a suspect.
9. What was distinctive about the night club 'The Cosmopolitan'?

Answer: A bar made of ice

The Cosmopolitan was owned by June and Riley Benson. After Hurricane Katrina it was abandoned and they listed it for sale with Marcus Gabrielle.
10. What is the relationship between June and Riley Benson?

Answer: Mother and son

Initially we are led to believe that they are brother and sister, and that there was a 15 year age gap between them. It turns out that Riley is the result of an incestuous rape by June's father.
11. What is 'FACE'?

Answer: Forensic Anthropology Computer Enhancement

A computer system used to recreate the features of victims who are not in a recognizable condition. Certain features are standard and measurements are taken from the victims, plugged in to the program and a workable likeness is produced.
12. Real-life radio show hosts (John) Walton and (Steve) Johnson are mentioned as being in the night club. What were they drinking?

Answer: Jell-O shots

They get frequent mentions in Erica's books. In this one they become an excuse for Stacy to get with Yvette. She tells Yvette that they had left her a $20 tip. Jell-O shots are Jell-O (Jelly) made with alcohol. Hurricanes are the trade mark drink of Pat O'Briens bar in the French Quarter. Hand Grenades originated at the Tropical Isle bars. Mountain Dew is a soft drink packed with caffeine.
13. How did Patti convince Yvette to help her?

Answer: She paid her

Patti promised her $50,000 if she would agree to help. She gave her a check for $10,000 as an advance. The money was from an insurance policy on the death of her husband.
14. Patti gets stabbed at the end of the book. What is she stabbed with?

Answer: Garden shears

The killer manages to distract Patti and then stabs her in the back. As she falls to the ground she hits her head and lapses into unconsciousness.
15. Who is the killer?

Answer: June Benson

Patti has known June for 20 yrs. They met at a support group after they both had miscarriages. June's experience as an abuse victim caused her to separate herself from her alternate identities. She was, of course, both The Handyman and The Artist, and ended up killing Riley for his attempts to get close to Yvette. Ben Franklin is the first suspect they bring in on suspicion of being the killer.
