Crime Suspense Anthology

Mies hyökkää markettiin sairaalasänky selässään. Vääryyttä kokenut nainen hautoo veristä kostoa. Ja maalaisidylli rakoilee rumasti nuoren nimismiehen silmien alla. Tummankarheat rikosnovellit näyttävät, miten kenestä tahansa voi tulla rikollinen. Niin asianajaja, putkimies, trukkikuski kuin siivoustyönjohtajakin voi sortua rikokseen ammattiroistoista puhumattakaan. Paatuneintakin rikollista soimaa kuitenkin armoton omatunto. Kasvot betonissa on kokoelma Tapani Baggen rikosnovelleja, joista osa sijoittuu aiemmille vuosikymmenille.
