      Compulsive, chilling short stories from the international bestselling author, eminent criminal defence lawyer and 'one of the most distinctive voices in European literature' (Daily Telegraph)

      ''Mesmerising and utterly absorbing'' New York Times

      ''A magnificent storyteller'' Der Spiegel

      A retired small-town doctor takes a garden axe to his cruel wife.

      A woman laces her brother''s food with barbiturates.

      Two men steal a priceless Japanese tea bowl with brutal consequences.

      What drives a person to commit a crime?

      Our narrator knows that behind every misdeed is a story waiting to be told. In this collection of chilling cases, a nameless lawyer recounts the love, obsession, selfishness and despair that influenced his clients'' irrevocable choices.

      Drawn from Ferdinand von Schirach''s eminent career as a criminal defence lawyer, Crime blends fiction with real life, each story a revealing, unsettling insight into what may compel a person to act beyond the law.
