Some tropes associated with Slade's work include:
* AlwaysGetsHisMan : Interestingly, the idea that a Mountie does this is what sparked Clarke's interest in writing about the Mounties. The central killer may or may not be captured at the end of each story.
* AxCrazy : Of course.
* BadassBookworm : DeClerq
* BadassCrew : Special X is made up of elite, highly specialized members.
* BrotherSisterIncest : [[AwesomeMcCoolName Rika and Saxon Hyde]].
* CanadaEh : Played straight, averted, subverted, and just about (a-boot) any version of the trope, the Canadian West features heavily in Slade's work. However, it's a [[CrapsackWorld grim and seedy place, full of brutal criminals and dark secrets]].

* CowboysAndIndians : The Battle of Rorke's Drift is described in ''Evil Eye''. In this case, it's actually Redcoats and Zulus, a battle that captured the author's imagination as a lad.
* DarkAndTroubledPast : Most of the characters, but particularly Zinc Chandler, Robert DeClerq, and other members of Special X.
* DevelopmentHell : ''Headhunter'' was optioned in 2008, but has yet to see even a script.
* DistractedByTheSexy : Becomes a ChekhovsGun in ''Ghoul.'' The perpetrator of a murder leaves the scene, but she's noticed because of her fantastic cleavage... Except she's not who they think.
* TheDungAges : Discussed in ''Ghoul.'' Made particularly Squicky with mention of Richard the Raker, a 14th century sanitation worker who drowned in the sewage in London's streets.
* FreudianExcuse : ''Ghoul'' in particular came about during a time when crimes were believed to be a result of a person being subjected to years of horrendous [[RapeLeadsToInsanity abuse]]. Although still relevant, some of the psychology from TheEighties seems dated now.
* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame : A deadly game of Hangman and a "murder mystery" game gone sour.
* UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper : One of the recurring characters is a Ripper wannabe.

* TheMentallyDisturbed : Many of the killers, to [[InsaneEqualsViolent extreme degrees]]. The psychology used in the book is better presented than in most fiction, as criminal insanity is the author's specialty.
* PoliceProcedural : Many of Slade's novels revolve around Special X, a (fictional) international division of Canada's Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
* SerialKiller : Almost every novel has one (or more) at the centre of the plot, along with ShoutOut s to many RealLife serial killers such as Ted Bundy, Ed Gein, and Richard Ramirez. In fact, the end notes to ''Ghoul'' provide a handy list of notable serial killers. And if you were wondering, a couple of the books include a handy check list for serial killer behaviour.
