 Alas, Poor Villain: Averted to high hell, all the villains have done so much damage that when they get there commence, it's nothing short of cathartic.

 All for Nothing: A lot of things done in the novel pan out to be this. Corruption and the drug trade survive Barrera's reign. Chuy is broken. Eddie still goes to jail. Pablo's exposure of the cartel leads to his murder.
