Two old hands at the limits of legality Alois Mistletoe, a failed pianist, and Berta Bartók, a retired cook with a dubious past, can't stand each other. But as life goes, they live together in the Zurich villa of their deceased employer and keep their heads above water with occasional thefts. When one of their victims gets on their trail and threatens to call the police, the two seniors are forced to offer the woman a deal: no complaint, but they are looking for their missing friend. Soon the two have to deal with blackmail and a corpse in the forest - but their biggest problem is buried under the pear tree in their garden. Sunil Mann's pointed and wonderfully humorous crime novel Pretty Best Criminals tells of the challenges of getting older and the power of cohesion.

After graduating from high school, he enrolled in psychology and German studies in Zurich. He successfully discontinued both studies. He is currently working as a flight attendant, a job that gives him enough time to write.
