'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, Crimeblends fiction with real life, each story a revealing, unsettling insight into what may compel a person to act beyond the law.
