|summary=Eleven cleverly crafted stories of guilt and consequences that will shock, provoke tears, anger and the occasional smile while leaving you with the realisation that the grass where you are now is green enough by comparison.
|cover=Schirach_Crime
By the way, I'm sure that you will have surmised this already but, just in case it needs saying, this is definitely not a children's book due to there being some graphic scenes and occasional moments of extreme out-of-body blood flow. If you're highly squeamish it may be an idea for you too to choose something else from the bookshelves. However, if you can take some blood-letting, the fact that Ferdinand writes in the style of reportage does help to reduce the pronounced feelings of goriness there would otherwise be.
A special thank you to Vintage for sending us a copy of this book for review. We also have a review of [[The Collini Case by Ferdinand von Schirach]].
If this has whetted your interest for more stories connected with crime, try [[Murders of London: In the steps of the capital's killers by David Long]]. If you'd prefer something more humorous than bloodthirsty, perhaps [[Anonymous Lawyer by Jeremy Blachman]], or [[Rumpole at Christmas by John Mortimer]] would be better.
