!!Tropes:
*ArcVillain: Franca Capecchi, TheMafia's new boss who is hiding somewhere in the district while planning to start a MobWar and kill as many Irish people as possible to avenge her husband's murder.
*BittersweetEnding: The district and the whole MobWar StoryArc ends this way, as the war finally manages to be stopped for good with Seamus' death and Franca's arrest. However, a lot of people, both from the gangs and regular citizens, have died in the process, including ones you were in good terms with such as Vinnie, Bridget, or Commissioner Baldwin, while others have been incarcerated or left with nothing after the bloodshed, such as Timmy, Dermot, and Giulietta.
*TheClimax: This district serves as the climax of the MobWar StoryArc you've been dealing with since [[Recap/CriminalCaseMysteriesOfThePastSinnersEndDistrict Sinner's End]] and [[Recap/CriminalCaseMysteriesOfThePastCoyoteGorgeDistrict Coyote Gorge]], as both the Italian and Irish gangs are defeated for good by the end of it.
*CloseKnitCommunity: Crimson Banks is a peaceful community where Irish and Italians, which are supposed to be mortal enemies in other districts, live without having to worry about rivalries and gang business, something that Franca Capecchi is planning to disrupt.
*MerchantCity: Crimson Banks is described as this, being the commercial heart of Concordia where merchandise shipments arrive and most of its inhabitants run shops and establishments.
*MobWar: The latter half of the district has the Flying Squad dealing with a gang war that Franca Capecchi has successfully initiated and is also being commanded by Seamus O'Neill, who has [[GreatEscape broken out of prison]] and is now in charge of the Irish gang.
*PreventTheWar: The Flying Squad arrives to Crimson Banks with this purpose, intending to stop Franca Capecchi from disrupting the district's peace by starting a gang war. [[YouCantThwartStageOne It fails.]]
*RecurringCharacter: The main recurring characters for Crimson Banks are [[TheQueenpin Franca Capecchi]], [[MafiaPrincess Giulietta Capecchi]], [[YouAreInCommandNow Seamus O'Neill]], [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold Adrienna Brassiere]], [[GangBangers Dermot McMurphy, and Antonio Dante]]
*ShoutOut: The Additional Investigation for Crimson Banks is named "[[Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet A Plague on Both Your Houses]]".
*YouCantThwartStageOne: The Flying Squad fails to prevent Franca from starting a MobWar between the Irish and Italian gangs of Concordia, leading to a bloodshed that they only manage to stop once the gangs start to weaken.
