Description: An anthology of crime from a distinguished selection of British writers - A verger{u2019}s son, whose childhood playground was a graveyard, remembers a night best forgotten . . . Two drug addicts find that theft does not pay . . . A corrupt politician charges a curious vehicle to his expenses . . . The latest showcase of shorts from the CWA takes readers on a twisted route to the origin of evil: original sin. From a fish that can{u2019}t help but dispense his own kind of justice, to an assassin handling a misogynistic client, these tales demonstrate that, for some, there{u2019}s no going against their own nature.
