!!This book has examples of the following tropes:
* CameBackWithAVengeance: Danny gets framed by the antagonists for a murder one of them committed. In prison, he meets a rich IdenticalStranger, who becomes his friend. When the latter is murdered, the former [[DeadPersonImpersonation takes his place]], and when released from prison he takes revenge on the antagonists.
* DeadPersonInpersonation: After Nick is murdered, by someone believing him to be Danny, Danny successfully takes Nick's place.
* FakingTheDead: After Nick is murdered, Danny takes Nick's place, pretending that Danny was the one who was murdered.
* PrisonRape: In the earlier chapters, gang rape is referenced as the usual fate for gay prisoners... usually followed by being ripped limb from limb. One gay character we meet is only spared from this because good barbers are difficult to come by. [[spoiler:And one of the guys the main character gets his revenge on for falsely incriminating him -- a slightly CampGay soap opera actor -- implicitly has prison rape to look forward to as part of his karmic comeuppance.]]
* IdenticalStranger: Danny and Nick look so alike that even the prison staff has trouble telling them apart.
