Produktbeschreibung
Labor agitators, crime bosses, thieves, hijackers, abusive fathers, terrorists, drug lords, prostitutes, crooked politicians, hillbillies, fallen nuns and priests, itinerant musicians...these are the people who populate Chris Cahill's young life. His grandfather is "Boss" Colin Sullivan. Little of anything legal or illegal goes on in the 42nd precinct without his knowledge or approval. Christopher's father, Rory Cahill is Boss Sully's hulking chief lieutenant, more comfortable enforcing his authority on his women and children than his crews. Christopher's older brother, Liam, has convinced himself Chris is responsible for the death of their mother, and is determined to make him suffer for it, though the cause of her death had nothing to do with his birth. Rather, it was her injuries from either jumping from her bedroom window, or pushed, that caused his early delivery. In a moribund mill town fractured by racial and religious tensions, Chris discovers the first rule of survival: run away. Too soon, though, the protective bastions Boss Sully has spent his life to build come crashing down at the hands of a fickle Rory Cahill, forcing Chris to battle for his own independence rather than accept a life of institutions and foster homes.
Autorenporträt
After spending his early years in the steel towns of Western Pennsylvania, and mountains of Maryland and Central Pennsylvania, Ron has found a home in Colorado. Always encouraged to read, he was exposed to adult fiction, and the ultimate questions of "What If?" and "Why Not?" at an early age. Aside from his love of telling stories, he strives to provide a rewarding and challenging experience to his readers, returning in kind to his readers the gifts other authors have given him. He has had a wealth of life experience working as an insurance investigator, a machinist, quality inspector, CNC sheet metal programmer, design drafter, and designer. He enjoys sports cars, bicycles, and folk singing.
