7. Why are Jellicoe, Parker, Quince and Harch haunting Susan?

Answer: They're not! It's all a ploy

KGB kidnapped her, took her to Russia to break her 'mental block' placed by her employers - trying to get answers to what's going on at the Milestone Corp. They did a background search on her and discovered a very freaky portion of her past, involving these four men, and it just might help them 'crack the case'.

8. Just what about these four young men doesn't Susan like?

The four men were fraternity brothers, who killed Susan's boyfriend in a ritual hazing. They tried to catch her and kill her too, but she managed to escape and testify in court.

9. So these 4 men are there to haunt Susan. Where is 'there'?

Answer: Fake hospital in Russia

Susan is in a fake hospital in Russia - taken there by the KGB. Everything about this is a set-up. They're ultimately trying to get classified information about Milestone research (the US government 'think tank').

10. And who is the hero of the story?

Answer: Jeff McGee

Jeff McGee (one of the 'fake' doctors working with the KGB) turns out to be a double agent. He uses his US connections to get Susan out of Russia and back home - where, of course, they live happily ever after.
