When Draski finds out the truth, he plots revenge on Dana Buckley, the assassin who killed is family.

* MagnificentBastard: NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas, Roarke, and their allies have faced dozens of intelligent criminals, but a select few stand out for their charisma and intelligence:
** ''Origin in Death'': [[AntiVillain Deena Flavia]] is a clone created to be the perfect spy by [[EvilutionaryBiologist Dr. Wilfred B. Icove Sr. and Jr. and Dr. Jonah D. Wilson]], who rebelled against her masters. Before the series, Deena reinvented herself as a stylish thief and [[ProfessionalKiller hitwoman]] and plotted to take down her abusive creators and save the rest of her "sisters", the other clones. Deena pulls off perfect assassinations against the various members of TheConspiracy using various methods: pretending to be a client to take one off-guard and murder them by surprise; and using the spouse of another to trick him into being defenseless before striking and using a disguise to infiltrate the building of one of her other targets. Deena also gets a rare win for a killer in the series, being able to die peacefully with her mission complete and using her last words to clear her conspirators from trouble.

** ''Concealed in Death'' & ''Desperation in Death'': [[TheFagin Sebastian]] is a relentlessly charming [[GentlemanThief thief]] and ConMan who helps protect the street children. Sebastian helps train them as thieves and pickpockets, yet also actually does care about them and goes out of his way to ensure they get to live happy lives, even being willing to help Lieutenant Eve Dallas go after [[WouldHurtAChild far]] worse [[HumanTraffickers monsters]] to do it. Sebastian is also able to manipulate others with just a few words and helps to dispel threats to both himself and to those under his care.

** At one point Eve is investigating the death of a woman who committed suicide after partaking in a VirtualReality session and, trying to figure out what caused it, plays the session in question--which turns out to be a porn sim, inducing Eve to ''orgasm'' before she even realizes what is going on. She's notably disturbed, not just by the artificial, electronically-induced climax itself that the sim more or less forced her to experience, but also the fact that people ''willingly'' plug into such recordings ''for this express purpose.''
