History Literature / FindersKeepers

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Andrew Halliday, who Bellamy butchers as the former is in the process of blackmailing Pete. Later on, as exquisitely hideous as his death is, Bellamy himself falls victim to this as well, burning black in the blaze of the notebooks he stole, and it's almost impossible to drum up any sympathy for him.]]
* ArcWords: ''Clack''

* AuthorAppeal : The heart of the plot involves the work of a [[ReclusiveArtist reclusive author]], and the ability (some might say) of literature to change a person's life. And heart.
* BurnBabyBurn : [[spoiler: Pete's solution to his problem]].

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Morris Bellamy burns to death in the blaze of his coveted books, the narration describing his melting face and charred, skeletal husk of a body as he's incinerated.]]
* GenreShift: [[spoiler: A subtle example. The first book in the Bill Hodges trilogy is a hard-boiled detective story with absolutely no paranormal or supernatural elements. This book stays in the same genre until the very end, where it is revealed that Brady Hartfield (the villain from the first book) has gained telekinetic abilities after awakening from his coma.]]
* ImprovisedWeapon : The Happy Slapper makes a reappearance. Some decanters full of whiskey also prove useful.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Bellamy's horrible, line-crossing efforts pay off, and he [[BurnBabyBurn gets to be with his notebooks forever]].]]

* SequelHook: [[spoiler: Brady Hartfield is faking his brain dead status and revealed to have psychic powers.]]
* ShoutOut: Brady's hospital room is [[{{Literature/TheShining}} 217]].
* WhatDidIDoLastNight: Morris gets drunk and wakes up in a prison cell not knowing what happened. It turns out he raped a woman in an alley and attacked the arresting officer.
