Never Love a Hoser - Paperback

by Piwi (Author)

Never Love a Hoser tells the very Canadian story of Francis Stone, an orphan growing up in the dirty world of Depression-era Vancouver. After being expelled from a Catholic orphanage after they discover he is Jewish, a confused and angry Francis embarks on a life of crime. It's the only career choice available to him, and he does it very well. Francis soon rises to prominence and becomes one of Vancouver's most feared and respected men, ruling the city the ways he sees fit and indulging his own tastes for women, money and the best things in life. He buys whatever (and whomever) he wants and takes it if it's not for sale. But Francis' lifelong friend, Steve, has become a tough-as-hell prosecuting attorney who is determined to put Francis behind bars.
