Trivia[]
Jason's $16,000 question was about which was not one of Sue Grafton's "Alphabet Mystery" books, and he correctly chose 'S' is for Stiletto as the right answer. At the time of his run, Grafton had not yet gotten that far in the alphabet (she was only up to "O" is for Outlaw). Five years later, Grafton did reach S in her alphabet of mysteries, but she named it 'S' is for Silence.
