Guilt by Ferdinand Von Schirach
A collection of stories that takes us to the crimes that never reach the newspapers: small-town atrocities where the mundane lurches into the macabre and ordinary people find themselves at the heart of horrific crimes. It presents the saga of a bungled drug heist involving a stolen car and a dog full of laxatives; and, more.
Masterful storytelling.. Guilt is a significant book * Frankfurter Allegemeine Zeitung *
