Crumpled into the creases is a coming of age story in an urban environment. A chess match for control of the underworld played with real kings, knights, and pawns. A work of fiction that accurately depicts the mind-set, decision making, and actions of those that have power and those that seek to obtain it in a world where only the most vicious and ambitious reign. The tale is told in Portsmouth, VA, but it is a story that repeats in cities throughout America and around the "Under" world.
