Description
Still Life: Ten Crime Stories by Malin Persson Giolito, a collection of short crime fiction stories. It is an advance uncorrected proof. This collection features ten sharp, deeply human stories that explore how individuals from various backgrounds can find themselves on the wrong side of the law, regardless of their intentions. The book offers a compelling portrait of modern Sweden, addressing universal questions about crime and morality. Key themes and examples from the stories include: -A newly appointed police officer guarding his first murder scene, who is startled by two people approaching him threateningly. -An abused child who witnesses her father's murder and provides a trauma-influenced version of events to the police. -A university student whose youthful revelry leads to a law being broken and fatal consequences. -A mother who commits the same crime her son is being prosecuted for to protect him. The stories illustrate that actions driven by good intentions may still be considered criminal in the eyes of the law, highlighting a poignant portrayal of societal failures. This book is fictional but if it were non-fiction I could have easily believed it. Gritty, dark and seedy. A phenomenal addition to any library. Pet free smoke free home.
Shipping time seemed quick. The packaging was lacking for an antique book. The value was not a described as there was also an excessive amount of ink underlined and dogearred pages, which were not declared on Non-Returnable item .

Speedy ship out and delivery! Quality book and in like new condition. All 5-STARS!
