An international crime organization,<br />

an old man, a rape suspect, a lost gang<br />

member, two lovers drifting away, and<br />

an incredible robbery that extends <strong>from</strong><br />

Havana, to Paris and finally to Istanbul...<br />

Blame the Apple begins in jail. <strong>The</strong><br />

narrator, an anti-hero, is a privileged<br />

convict whose money affords him<br />

many privileges in jail. Although he is a<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essional robber, he had not always<br />

been an unlawful man. In fact, he is quite<br />

refined. Cem Selcen tells the story <strong>of</strong><br />

this skillful criminal by touching on the<br />

stories <strong>of</strong> other people: his friends in jail<br />

as well as the accomplices with whom he<br />

robs the Istanbul branch <strong>of</strong> the Central<br />

Bank <strong>of</strong> Turkey.
