Beschreibung

<p><b>'Debré's voice is Camusian, comic, stark, relentless and totally hypnotic' Rachel Kushner</b><br><br><b>'Knife-like clarity' <i>Observer</i><br><br><i>Is a criminal born or made? What turns them towards violence?</i></b><br><br>A young man stabs an elderly woman ten times for the sake of a [...]o debt. But why would he commit such a brutal murder over a petty sum, when he has a girlfriend and a child at home? How much could he lose when there is already so little to start with? Centring on a perpetrator and a victim who remain nameless - who are nobodies but could be anybody - <i>Offenses </i>unfolds as a contemporary parable exploring the biases and barriers built into the legal system. <br>Blending expertise in criminal law with her signature knife-edge prose, Constance Debré probes the intricacies of crime, punishment and accountability in this propulsive tale.</p>
