Stupid Crimes

By Dennis E. Bolen

Stupid Crimes grows like a map of East Vancouver, and stretches from Little Italy to Chinatown. Using Barry Delta, parole officer, as an entreé to this world of the shady, the blue collar, and the deeply bruised, Dennis E. Bolen has increased the range of consciousness and language at play.
