In a mystery story...?

What do you call that moment the story has been leasding up to, when the mystery is revealed?

Sorry about the delay. I was hoping there was a term which was more specific to mysteries. I may be imagining something which doesn't exist, but I'm still holding out hope for a "deus ex machina." (the term I was probably thinking of when I thought there was another Latin, or perhaps French term for such a revelation)

the climax is the high point of the novel, usually towards the end, where things start to be revealed.
