* After concluding his [[Dead Person Impersonation]] in the first novel by forging a will from his impersonee leaving everything to himself, [[Villain Protagonist]] Tom Ripley of ''[[The Talented Mr. Ripley]]'' and other novels lives the good life in a French chateau, becoming a talented dabbler in art (both as an expert and as a painter), music, and fine cuisine. In between entertaining guests, he likes to amuse himself by carrying out odd jobs for gangsters, and once in a while (i.e. at least once per novel) kills the odd person who gets too close to exposing his past
*Nazis in Wouk's [[The Winds of War and War and Remembrance]]. Sometimes just when [[Affably Evily|you start to like them]] they do a double take and shock you with how evil they really are. In fact they are a quite believable portrayal.
