A chilling literary thriller about a motiveless murder in
provincial China 'One of the most important voices to emerge from
the People's Republic in years' Daily Express On a normal day in
provincial China, a teenager goes about his regular business, but
he's also planning the brutal murder of his only friend. He lures
her over, strangles her, stuffs her body into the washing machine
and flees town, whereupon a perilous game of cat-and-mouse begins.
A shocking investigation into the despair that traps the rural poor
as well as a technically brilliant excursion into the
claustrophobic realm of classic horror and suspense, A Perfect
Crime is a thrilling and stylish novel about a motiveless murder
that echoes Kafka's absurdism, Camus' nihilism and Dostoyevsky's
depravity. With exceptional tonal control, A Yi steadily reveals
the psychological backstory that enables us to make sense of the
story's dramatic violence and provides chillingly apt insights into
a country on the cusp of enormous social, political and economic
change.
