Fyodor Dostoevsky · 1866 · Psychological thriller
A brilliant but destitute St. Petersburg student convinces himself that extraordinary people are beyond ordinary morality — and tests the theory by murdering a pawnbroker. The aftermath, and the detective who watches him from a careful distance, is one of the most claustrophobic psychological thrillers ever written.
