Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Benton Wesley is in which city when he calls Kay and asks her to see a 'patient'?

Answer: New York

New York, also known as the Big Apple, is the scene for many crime novels and television series to do with crime.

2. Which hospital had Benton Wesley been working at when he called Kay to examine a suspect who had asked for her?

Answer: Bellevue Hospital Center

Benton Wesley was working as a Forensic Psychologist at Maclean Hospital and had been called into aid with this murder case.

3. What is the name of the patient/suspect that Kay was called to see?

Answer: Oscar Bane

Oscar and the victim were both 'little people' or dwarves.

4. Who is the detective who is working the case for the Assistant District Attorney, Jaime Berger?

Answer: Mike Morales

Morales is probably one of the most educated detectives I have come across in any crime fiction. He'd attended Dartmouth and completed medical training at Johns Hopkins before turning to police work.

5. Terry Bridges was found dead, wearing a particular piece of jewellery; what was this?

Answer: Ankle bracelet

It is this ankle bracelet that leads to other similar murders and the introduction of a new character.

6. What is the technical name for the little people/dwarf syndrome that both Oscar and Terri had?

Answer: Achondroplasia

In this case, both of their bodies were 'normally' sized, but limbs were shorter and fatter than those of full size people.

7. What was the name of the online newsletter that printed 'stories' about Kay's private life?

Answer: Gotham Gotcha

It is interesting that Terri was studying for her degree with the Gotham Online College. I wonder if the guilty party knew of this college when s/he started the newsletter?

8. Terri had been in email correspondence with someone she thought was Kay Scarpetta. What was the name of her email correspondent?

Answer: scarpetta612

The book never explains how the numerals were designated as part of the web address, but lots of us do have numerals as part of our web addresses - probably because we weren't the first to nominate the user name or because lots of people share our names or because we were not sensible enough not to use our own name!

9. What breed was Lucy's dog?

Answer: Bulldog

Jet Ranger had been an abandoned dog Lucy had found running along the highway. He was old and arthritic and not used to city pavements and roads. He did demonstrate a liking for Jaime Berger, the Assistant District Attorney.

10. What was the gun that Marino gave Lucy as a Christmas gift when they were both in Charlestown?

Answer: 40 - caliber Glock

This caused a problem for Marino in that when he gave it to Lucy he didn't get round to signing the relevant papers to make the gun legally hers. So, when Lucy used it to defend herself, Jaime and Kay, Marino had to surreptitiously remove it, wipe it clean, ensure his prints were on it and then explain that it was him that did the shooting.
