This 1866 novel is Dostoevsky's great fictional study of the criminal mind, in the character of the student Raskolnikov, who murders an aged pawnbroker. Initially, Raskolnikov believes that the killing was entirely justified, but as the novel proceeds he becomes tortured by his guilt, and begins to question all his most passionately held beliefs. Eventually, while the wily police inspector Porfiry Petrovich simply waits, Raskolnikov--prompted by Sonia, a prostitute who is devoted to him--breaks down and confesses. Despite its bleak subject matter, the novel holds out the possibility of redemption; it is also an indictment of the social conditions in which the action unfolds.

Tully Mars lights out from Wyoming for a warmer climate after he incurs the wrath of his boss, who raises poodles for a living and has hired a squad of goons to track him down. As he heads south, Tully meets the woman of his dreams, leaves her with reluctance, evades the evil posse, and, after a series of adventures, ends up in the Caribbean. There he's hired by a wealthy woman (aged 103) who wants him to restore a lighthouse. What follows is typical Jimmy Buffett-land, where the order of the day is good sex, good fishing, good pot, and plenty of hanging out with the colorful locals.
