Line 43:
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]] - Pendergast. D'Agosta also gets better at this.
* [[Ax Crazy]] - {{spoiler|Diogenes.}}
* [[Badass in A Nice Suit]] / [[Sharp
* [[Battle Butler]] - Proctor.
* [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy]] - John J. Audubon's artistic genius was the result of {{spoiler|a rare form of avian flu that altered his brain chemistry.}}
Line 79:

* [[Hollywood Voodoo]] - In ''Cemetery Dance''. {{spoiler|It turns out to be a sham, of course.}}
* [[Hot
* [[Hot Scientist]] - Quite a few.
* [[Immortality Immorality]] - Central to the plot of ''The Cabinet of Curiosities'', which involves a formula for extending human life that seems to require extracting living human spines for one of the ingredients.
* [[Instant Mystery, Just Delete Scene]]: The authors commonly build suspense by switching back and forth between characters' story lines at critical moments.
* [[Interdisciplinary Sleuth]] - Pendergast.
* [[Intrepid Reporter]] - Bill Smithback.
Line 93:
* [[Non-Idle Rich]] - Pendergast certainly doesn't work for the money.
* [[Not So Stoic]] - Pendergast in ''Cemetery Dance'' and ''Fever Dream''.
* [[Not That Kind of Doctor]]/[[Open
* [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]] - All over the place, with an especially thick concentration around the New York Museum of Natural History.

Line 108:
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]] - Hayward in the later books.
* [[Sacrificial Lamb]] - {{spoiler|Moriarty}} in ''Relic''.
* [[Scooby
** ''Brimstone'' and ''Cemetery Dance'' are the most notable, as the villains' schemes follow the formula of a Scooby Doo episode right down to the letter (other than multiple murders being involved, of course).
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]] - Pendergast lives on this trope.
