* FanNickname: Katya, aka "Whoreverine" and "Bionic Hooker."

How about no? At least not without the context that this is a racist myth that was largely propagated to cover for Jimmy Savile and the people who protected him, rather than treating it as simple fact?


* HarsherInHindsight: The first arc, because of the reveal of grooming gangs in the UK that [[WhatAnIdiot law enforcement did not look at for fear of being called racist]].

* MoralEventHorizon: You'll probably not be part of the books' fandom if you can't get past the third ACT of book 1 where [[spoiler: Mike abuses and rapes a teenage girl.]]

If something is brought up again, even in passing, it's not a BLAM. Plus, it has to come out of nowhere.


* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Pretty much the entirety of the second act of ''Ghost'', which consists of Mike bumming around on his boat, picking up a pair of nubile coeds, and introducing them to BDSM. Besides showing what he's been doing since getting out of the hospital, it has no bearing on the larger plot until he gets a call from his handler requesting that he go get shot up again, after which it is never mentioned again beyond an incredibly tangential reference in ''A Deeper Blue'' that doesn't even mention the coeds.

CRF is screamingly obvious errors that anyone would catch, even if they\'re not experts on the subject.


* CriticalResearchFailure. Spelling Semtex as "Semtec", insisting that Skoda Works (founded 1859) was created during the Soviet occupation...

The various Mary Sue tropes aren\'t to be used anywhere, as per Fighteer in Ask The Tropers


* JerkSue: Mike is one. He's an ass, he's a rapist, tortures in absolutely gruesome ways without hesitation, and acknowledges that he's not a good guy. Problem is, he never faces any sort of negative consequences for his actions, the only one to call him on his crap is Katya, and everyone else either apparently sees no problem with what he does or wholeheartedly approves. Anyone who disagrees is painted as either wholeheartedly evil or a strawman to be patronized and insulted.

** All together now... '''"OH JOHN RINGO NO!"''' Also, Mike "collects hookers [[CrazyCatLady like cats]]!"
** That's not a harem, it's a fucking entourage.
