Ferdinand von Schirach's tense, riveting collection of stories based on real crimes he has known. In these brief, succinct tales, von Schirach calls into question the nature of guilt and the toll it takes - or fails to take - on ordinary people. Compassionate and seen with the same cool, controlled eye that propelled Ferdinand von Schirach's debut collection, 'Crime', onto best-seller lists, Guilt is a stunning follow-up from one of Germany's finest new writers.
