Fever by Robert Clem adapts Crime and Punishment and sets the action in New York City’s East Village in 1969. Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s early radicalism and death sentence, commuted at the last minute, inspired his Notes from the Underground as well as the later novel in which a young man commits murder and gets away with it, but is unable to hide his guilt.
