‘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.
