Accidental Misnaming: A point throughout the book is that people often mistake Cormoran's name as "Cameron." This may have been inspired by the fact that this mistake sometimes shows up in reviews for the series online. Kirkus Reviews's review of the title gives the protagonist's name as "Cameron Strike."

Berserk Button: Strike doesn't take it well when when his disability is belittled. He is personally insulted by Tempest's flippancy on the matter, wanting to be disabled, using a wheelchair despite being able-bodied, staying off work with a faked back injury, and repeatedly turning down psychiatric help.

Big Damn Heroes: Shanker does this twice. First, he charges in to save Robin when Noel Brockbank has her in his clutches and is breathing murder. Then at the end he bursts into Laing's apartment to save Strike's life right as Laing is about to stab Strike with a carving knife.
