Fall From Grace / int_25524784	type	No-Holds-Barred Beatdown
Fall From Grace / int_25524784	comment	No-Holds-Barred Beatdown : Leo receives a nasty beating after he interviews a subject. An interesting example, in that rather than magically walking away untarnished, he suffers the symptoms of a fairly serious concussion (lack of focus, headache, etc.)

Fall From Grace / int_297ab1b9	comment	Parental Abandonment: Grace's parents abandoned her to the foster system when she was just four years old. Also, Leo doesn't see his own children.

Fall From Grace / int_4755314a	type	Magical Native American
Fall From Grace / int_4755314a	comment	Magical Native American : Averted, along with many stereotypes. The portrayal of Aboriginals, Cree in this case, is quite authentic. Leo also has a humourous moment when a Cree man offers him a cigarette, and Leo wonders if turning it down would be an insult to the man's peace offering.

Fall From Grace / int_49f6a9e4	type	Most Writers Are Writers
Fall From Grace / int_49f6a9e4	comment	Most Writers Are Writers: Leo is a journalist, which justifies his odd work hours and his connections in the community. The One-Hour Work Week implied here is, however, an aversion as Leo is generally "on the job," if not "on the clock" while he's talking to various people in the course of his investigation.

Fall From Grace / int_67784113	comment	Non-Appearing Title : Grace is the name of the murder victim, but the term "fall" is used thematically in a couple of places in the text, both to refer to Leo's arc and as a colloquial expression.

Fall From Grace / int_ba11178f	type	Moose and Maple Syrup
Fall From Grace / int_ba11178f	comment	Moose and Maple Syrup: A Darker and Edgier subversion. Set in Edmonton, there are many distinctly Canadian things about the book (the Mounties, for instance). However, the setting could just as easily be any American city. There is Truth in Television here, in that the murdered women, many of Aboriginal descent, are a very real social problem in Canada.
