Crime and Punishment

Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment isn't mentioned anywhere in this article about sniper suspect Lee Malvo, but it seems to be very much the modern tale. Malvo doesn't appear to just be some stupid, punk kid. He's haughty and arrogant but no dummy. He took his perceived missions seriously and planned accordingly. He is without remorse and doesn't seem to fully appreciate how he was captured. Malvo prepared his body and mind through meditaion, limited calorie intake, multi-vitamins, and working out at the YMCA. This is the proverbial interesting look inside the mind of a killer.
