Paul Tews, a rising Toronto mergers and acquisitions lawyer, is on a leave of absence for anxiety. An invitation to Rome from a woman with whom he’d once had a close encounter seems like a perfect remedy. Instead he finds that all things captivating have an ugly side. Friends confess baffling secrets. An art collector leads a double life. Passion deceives.

Paul must save himself from it all – and his past involvement with murder.

Editorial Reviews

From Kirkus Reviews

Impressive execution and admirable in its open defiance of traditional murder mysteries.

Review

"For those of us seeking more than the traditional murder mystery there is False Guilt ... [Fritze] delivers more plot structure and twists, more character development, more Toronto setting detail, and more of my favourite element in any story - an ordinary man's search for redemption." - Peter Armstrong

"False Guilt is no doubt the most unconventional mystery, and I mean that as a compliment! You do not find many writers like Peter Fritze because they are one of a kind. Instead of bringing us a garden variety mystery, Fritze has written the story in a Toni Morrison-like fashion. I felt so many similarities between Morrison and Fritze, it gave me comfort to know that the new generation of writers is just as good and that future generations of readers will not lack good pieces of literature. I really enjoyed reading this mystery/thriller." - Rabia Tanveer for Readers' Favorite (Five-Star Review)

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Peter Fritze practiced law as a solicitor in an Ontario government agency, partner in a major Toronto law firm and general counsel of a Canadian multinational. He’s now following his love of storytelling by writing suspense mysteries.

In April 2014, he self-published The Case for Killing. At a fictitious Toronto law firm, two plans for murder collide. In February 2015, he self-published False Guilt. A lawyer’s past involvement with murder follows him from Toronto to Rome.

Peter released his most recent mystery, Crook’s Hill, in February 2018. Alan Boltby yearns to be more than a workaholic lawyer. Confronted by insider trading, unexplained deaths and blame for a sordid family secret, he turns investigator. It’s the start of a new series featuring Alan Boltby and Sara Ramachandran.

Peter has lived in Toronto since being raised in Dundas, Ontario.

    Ensemble Guilt
    In his new crime novel Peter Fritze's ensemble cast of Toronto characters intervenes in their university pal's downhill slide. When that pal is found with a bullet in his head, each friend feels guilt but only one is charged with murder. Did he do it?
    We follow Fritze's adept chiaroscuro romp through Toronto and Rome, gathering even more suspects than his university friends, before the mystery unravels fifteen years after the crime. Fritze's Toronto climax is worthy of a detective thriller.
    Did I say climax? Yes, indeed, Fritze builds to a satisfying plot climax. But, that's not all that builds that way. Fritze crafts his sex scenes with fifty shades of heat. The reader follows the relationship of the accused and a mysterious Italian dancer with the same eagerness as that of the murder mystery.
    While Mafioso and cultural theft take the plot a tad over the top, Fritze shows that there's no crime in self-publication. His crisp writing, engaging characters and overall well-crafted plot demonstrate that the `mediation' of publishing houses is no longer a sine qua non for launching great writing into the world.
    False Guilt is a worthy addition to Fritze's first self-published novel The Case for Killing.

    “Fritze effectively gets you involved in Paul’s dilemma while keeping the truth just out of reach. I found myself trying to figure it out as I realized that something untold was perhaps just around the corner. I kept questioning and hoping for a morsel of info which did thankfully appear now and again. All the while there is this well paced story and back story that keep colliding with each other. Highly recommended!"
