As the character thought about the event or incident in the book referred to, he or she saw it as an event of major importance. Of major importance in more than one way. The dash serves to set apart and emphasize that sentence fragment which explains the word "key" in the main sentence. Hope that helps! Contact me if you would like to discuss this further.
