Crime and Punishment

by Fyodor Dostoevsky

He committed the perfect murder. Then he had to live inside his own head.

A poor former student in St. Petersburg convinces himself that a single killing can be justified by what he would do with the money. The crime is the easy part; what follows is a slow unravelling under the pressure of guilt, poverty, and a detective who seems content to wait.
