      SISTER LOVE and Other Crime Stories

      Marcia lives with her father and her sister, Karin. She does not have a job. Her father is ill and needs someone with him all the time. So Marcia stays at home. It is not an easy life, and Karin does not help. Is it a crime to hate your sister?

      Joey does not have a sister, and he does not have a job. So how does he live, where does he get his money from? From crime. Small crimes at first, but they get bigger, and bigger. Joey doesn’t call it crime, he calls it luck – Joey’s luck. But everybody knows that luck does not last for ever …

      Rosa has a job, but she does not make much money. So on Monday evenings she does something different – she asks people for ‘hush money’. In other words, she sells her silence. But silence about what? And who is worse, the person who sells the silence, or the person who buys the silence?

      Three different crimes, three different criminals …
