## Description

'Devastating and fascinating' New York Times 'Ice-cool, effortlessly classy prose' Observer A group of respectable family men are charged with the brutal murder of a teenager. A promising student gets caught up in a sadistic schoolboy gang. A couple are bound together by the events of one bloody night. Where do you draw the line between good and evil? In Guilt, people commit violent, extraordinary acts; some are convicted in a court of law, others are not. But our narrator, a nameless lawyer, knows that this is never the whole story. Drawn from Ferdinand von Schirach's eminent career as a criminal defence lawyer, the stories in Guilt blur fiction and truth, compelling us to question the difference between guilt and justice, innocence and complicity.
