They call themselves The Crime Doggs. Troy is the fiery leader, bent on revenge after being cruelly denied membership in a neighboring club; Darrin is his best friend, reigning in Troy’s most overreaching goals and schemes while recording all of their deeds in his notebook; Rick is the unpredictable hothead whose erratic behavior constantly threatens to divide the group; and Calvin is the tireless laborer who accepts the most tedious tasks in the hopes of becoming a full member. These thirty stories tell the history of The Crime Doggs from the club’s creation and follow the evolution of the group as their initial desire for revenge subsides and their interests begin to shift from war to love.
