* LampshadeHanging: When characters search a temple for a stolen item, then hide themselves when another group comes in to search, and this keeps repeating as new groups come in to search until there are several groups hiding, Thraxas comments that it reminds him of one of the sillier comedies at the theatre.

The Thraxas novels are a series of comic fantasy punk/detective novels by [[MartinMillar Martin Scott]]. Thraxas himself is an overweight, drunken, failed sorcerer, who also happens to be a skilled swordsman and the best (or at least, cheapest) private detective in the corrupt city-state of Turai. Aided by his friend Makri, an ex-gladiator girl who tries to pay for her education through working as barmaid, he constantly gets into dangerous situations and (in later books) embroiled in political intrigue, but a combination of luck, detective work and Makri's axe always gets him out again.
