Interesting Facts[]

  • He hasn't seen his father in years - he left when Jamie was six and lives in the Morningside Community with his third wife, outside London[5]
  • Electronics are a hobby and he makes homemade devices[5] (more than that, Roarke says he has a "feel, an instinct that's very rare").[6]
  • Murders Alban at the end of Ceremony in Death.
  • Wants to be a cop and some hero worship of Roarke and Eve Dallas.
    • Eve thinks he'd be a good cop.[7]
  • Jamie does a little work for Roarke now and then. Roarke planned to take Eve’s old computer to Jamie as it would provide a unique learning tool for him.[8]
  • He's on scholarship at Columbia. He received other offers from top-level colleges but attends Columbia so he can stay close to home and his mother.[9]
    • He's working in one of Roarke's R&D departments for the summer (June 2060).[9]
    • Jamie made a deal with Roarke that he'd go to college first before joining the Academy, since Roarke is paying the school expenses the scholarship doesn't cover. Eve didn't know about their arrangement[4] and, when she asked Roarke about it, he said she'd consider it a bribe; Roarke thinks Jamie is "bloody brilliant" - but not as good as Roarke, though a good deal more honest.[10]
  • He was friends with Deena MacMasters and last saw her two weeks before her murder, at Club Zero.[11]
    • Jamie said Deena knew self-defense and took him down a few times when they practiced.[12]
    • Jamie, as expert consultant, civilian, took the UNSUB image to Columbia and ran it through their imaging program. He found Darrin Pauley, with a 97.3% probability, matched the image.[13]
  • He ran the screen for the briefing before The Pleasure Academy raid in Desperation in Death; because he's close in age to the victims, Mira thought he would be able to help reassure and keep them calm when they were rescued. Eve wouldn't let him in on the actual takedown, but he did the e-work in the van, providing information on occupants based on heat sources.[14]
  • In Random in Death, he works with EDD, assisting with identifying the killer.
