A small but indirectly important plot point involves a 12 year-old boy running away from a physically abusive father. The abuse does not play out on the page.

A character drinks frequently, even while working. He references the fact that he probably has a problem with alcohol. He also drinks and drives.

The character committing the rapes/murders is not motivated by a sexual attraction to children, but there is so much overlap with paedophilia-related triggers that it's arguably a distinction without a difference.

No decapitation, but a character gets the top of his head shot off and another dies in a similar manner through bludgeoning.

The villain is able to project and send himself far away to threaten characters. It’s not exactly your classic ghost, per se, but it’s pretty close.
