3. What was the name of Keith Duffy's daughter?

At the start of the book, they had come to the Inn Patient because they had hit a deer and wanted Frannie to see if it could be saved. The deer was pregnant and so Frannie delivered the fawn and Angie took it home with her.
4. Which animal did Kit help Frannie rescue?

Answer: a fox

The fox had been caught in a trap and was squealing with pain when Frannie found it. She could not free it alone, as it was crazy with pain and fear. She called on Kit, her new lodger, to help her. It was this incident that helped Frannie to see the real Kit, and to start feeling attracted to him.
5. Who was Mrs. Beattie?

Answer: The children's teacher

Max had actually liked Mrs. Beattie, who was a doctor that the children felt they could trust more than the others. She had been the one that administered the intelligence tests on the children. They were sad when she was 'put to sleep'.
6. What was the name of Frannie's husband?

David was 38 when he was murdered. He was a molecular biologist, who had been involved in the experiments that Kit was investigating. He had been killed in the parking lot of the Boulder Community Hospital, and his killer had not been caught.

Answer: Wendy and Peter

When Frannie and Kit rescued the children from the Central Colorado Induced Mutant Lab, Wendy and Peter were about four years old. Ozymandis was about seven, and Icarus was close in age to Max. The children impressed Frannie with their care and concern for one another.
8. In what way were the children unusual?

Answer: They had wings

Kit and Frannie found evidence of other types of mutation amongst dead and dying children in the laboratory complex; the children they rescued had wings and could fly. When Frannie examined Max, she discovered that Max had many avian features. The children had been created as test tube babies, but with DNA from birds introduced into the embryo.
9. Gillian turned out to be a woman who had been keeping secrets. Which of these was NOT something she had kept to herself?

Answer: She had shot Frannie's husband

Gillian Puris had been a staunch friend of Frannie's and Frannie had enjoyed spending time with her and her delightful son, Michael. However, Frannie found out that Gillian's son had been at the School of Genetic Research. He was supposed to have an increased life expectancy thanks to the work of the scientists at the school. Gillian's husband was Anthony Peyser, not Carl Puris, and he was alive and well, much to Frannie's surprise.
10. What was the name of Kit's boss at the FBI?

Answer: Peter Stricker

Stricker was actually in league with the doctors involved in the genetic engineering. He had tried to remove Kit from the case, and finally was obliged to go and find Kit and try to kill him to prevent him from discussing his discoveries with anyone. I hope you have enjoyed playing the quiz!
