!!Tropes featured in this work include:
* AddictionPowered: Played with, with Jake. It's heavily implied that the drug he takes regularly (unspecified, but suggested to be speed) is what makes him so lethally fast, but it's also what makes him so constantly unstable and violent.
* AffablyEvil: The unnamed mob boss who Jake and Andrew meet towards the end. He's polite and [[spoiler: gives them back the piece of the shipment he bought without a fight.]]
* TheAlcoholic: Jake, if the number of beer cans around his apartment is any indication.
* AnticlimaxBoss: [[spoiler: The unnamed mob boss Jake and Andrew meet at the end, who gives up his part of the shipment without arguing or fighting.]]
* AuthorAppeal: The author lives on the East Coast and many of the locations in the book are based heavily on places near where he's lived.
* AxeCrazy: Jake.
* TheBigGuy: Andrew, who is 6'6 and built like a football linebacker, in relation to Jake who is 6'3 and built like a twig.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Jake and Andrew succeed in their mission, but their lives remain unchanged.]]
* BodyHorror: Jake's body and scars, as well as a lot of the violence.
* BookEnds: Both the prologue and epilogue use similar dialogue and are mostly unrelated to the main plot, to emphasize how little has changed over the course of the story.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Jake is a fan.

* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler: Heavily implied with Jake.]]
* {{Deconstruction}}: Of mafia story tropes, mostly in relation to hyper-competent hitmen.
* GeniusBruiser: While maybe not a genius, Andrew is clearly the calmer, more intelligent of the pair and is built like a football linebacker.
* {{Gorn}}: The depiction of violence gets a little...enthusiastic at times.'
* LightningBruiser: Jake is insanely fast and certainly seems capable of taking a pounding [[spoiler: at one point getting shot in the shoulder and keeps going.]]
