By book

Book 4 — The Gate of the Feral Gods

'This is a bereft pet of Geyrun', on the puppy's card in the Nothing (B4 ch. 29); 'Geyrun was murdered. Find out who did it and why', with one clue — the obvious suspect was in council (B4 ch. 32).

Book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade

An open quest only: Emberus's 'Find Out Who Killed My Son' gains a new objective — obtain the Memorial Crystal: Apito and see whether it bears on the murder — and repeats that Carl must still speak to the high cleric in Club Vanquisher (B5 ch. 77). The masquerade and the murdered son are one storyline now.

Book 6 — The Eye of the Bedlam Bride

'We have no clues as to who killed Geyrun other than the dog […] his time in the Nothing has made his memory unreliable' (B6 ch. 18). Amayon, one of the four princes of Sheol, 'may have some insight'; he laughs, says he was witness to the deal being signed, and names three brothers as the price (B6 ch. 58, B6 ch. 69).

Book 7 — This Inevitable Ruin

Amayon's price (B7 ch. 2); Hellik's denial (B7 ch. 54); the confession (B7 ch. 83); the hoodie (B7 ch. 86).

Book 8 — A Parade of Horribles

Carl's summary of the case: Samantha was there when someone was hired, 'her memory is a little spotty', and 'One of them, Amayon, claims to know who did it' (B8 ch. 70). In the arena: 'Emberus, I know who killed your son' (B8 ch. 94); 'The first person to kill your son was the god Khepri' (B8 ch. 95); and Carl's own conclusion that 'one of the key details of the whole mystery was a lie' (B8 ch. 95).
