Figurative Language
1.Martin's eyebrows arched a bit, and he cocked his head to the side(41)- this is imagery because you can imagine the expression on his face.
2."Lucas looked down at himself. He was wearing ran slacks with a gray cast, a black silk Hawaiian shirt with red-and-gold cockatoos, a medium-blue tropical-weight wool-knit jacket, and loafers that were the casual variants of the Mexican man's.(41)- Imagery because you can imagine why they were giving him crap about what he was wearing cas he looks like the typical tourist.

His face was covered with blood(55)- his eyes had been poked out-and his arms and legs were black.-this is imagery because you can imagine what his dead-tortured body looks like..

Quote

If Rinker starts shooting, there will be lists in the newspapers. In your search engine, put in 'organized crime,' 'St.Louis,' and the word 'shot.'

Theme
A theme in this book so far is sort of to be loyal, because Rinker is going after all the people that werent loyal to her(aka the people who tried to kill her), and also she rewards the people with alot of money who stay loyal to her.
