* VigilanteMilitia: The second book, ''Darkness Take My Hand,'' features a neighborhood vigilante group, EEPA (The Edward Everett Protection Association) who were present in the {{Backstory}}. The seven EEPA members spent about six months in the seventies beating up hubcap thieves and giving the stink eye to any black or Hispanic people who came into their neighborhood. Then, they stumbled across a pair of serial killers preying on children. They tortured one to death with a blowtorch and framed the other one for his murder. Four of them enjoyed doing so and became permanently emboldened and sadistic afterward (with one becoming a crime boss), one committed suicide, one became an alcoholic, and the seventh was institutionalized. Decades later, the EvilMentor of the two killers targets several of their children.

* TheDitz: Helene [=McCready=] is a non-comedic example in ''Gone Baby Gone'', as the stupidity and thoughtlessness that might be funny under other circumstances are actually very hazardous traits for the mother of a young child, especially in a bad neighbourhood. It's only her brother who stops her from doing serious harm to Amanda.
** However, by the time of ''Moonlight Mile'' she's moved into a more typical example of this trope, because the older Amanda is now highly intelligent and independent, and all the damage Helene could do has already been done. An example of this is when she sees Amanda's baby, which by this point everyone (including her) knows is ''adopted'' rather than a blood relation, she immediately says the baby has her eyes. When her boyfriend Kenny incredulously asks her how it is that she's "allowed to vote and operate machinery", we get this gem:
--> "Cuz," Helene said proudly, "this is America." [[ImpliedFacepalm Kenny closed and opened his eyes.]]
