CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

This is a murder story—a cat-and-mouse game between a tormented young killer and a cheerfully implacable detective.
It is an investigation of the forces that impel man toward sin, suffering, and grace.

as a “novel-pamphlet” in which he would say everything about the plague of materialist ideology that he saw infecting his native land.
