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.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671741686033,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781529345766.jpg?v=1781517135","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-crime-by-ferdinand-von-schirach","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
