The Story of Crime and Punishment

Raskolnikov is a poor student living in St Petersburg. Desperate to escape his poverty, he kills two people, and flees with a few watches and some jewellery. Although at first nobody suspects him, his own conscience plagues him and it isn't long before an intelligent police detective by the name of Petrovich begins to have his doubts about Raskolnikov's innocence, and is determined to make him confess.
