Kisah ini, yang berlatar belakang [[Venesia]], menceritakan sepasang kekasih Nick Brink dan Clay Guillory, yang menjual koleksi warisan antik perak palsu kepada seorang kenalan kaya dari masa lalu Clay. Penipuan mereka dengan cepat mengarah pada kejahatan yang lebih serius, saat Clay berupaya menjual sebuah properti mahal yang tidak sepenuhnya dia miliki dan Nick membunuh seorang juru taksir perak yang mengancam untuk membongkar rencana awal mereka. Bollen menggambarkan ''A Beautiful Crime'' sebagai novelnya yang paling pribadi sampai saat ini, serta unsur alur dan latar belakang tokohnya terinspirasi oleh kehidupannya sendiri. Novel ini mengeksplorasi[[:en:Overtourism|pariwisata berlebih]] and [[penurunan jumlah penduduk]] Venesia, serta persimpangan keserakahan, moralitas, dan kelas sosial.
