Critique of Criminal Reason is a crime novel written by Michael Gregorio. It is set in Königsberg, during the height of Napoleonic wars - in 1804. It details the protagonist's, a young magistrate named Hanno Stiffeniis, attempts to catch a murderer who has committed a series of grotesque and unsettling murders in the city. He is aided in the task by a sergeant of the local police, Herr Köch, and together they create a pair of heroes slightly reminiscent of the famous Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson tandem. Of note is the historical character of Immanuel Kant, who also takes an important part in the investigation.
The novel is to be the first of a series of novels illustrating Hanno Stiffeniis' exploits.
