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.
