About this ebook
Along with his boyhood friends, Ryan does what he has to do to survive on the streets of New York City and in order to put food on his familys table. With the troubled economy precipitated by the Great Depression, Ryan and his young friends must accomplish all duties given to them by their Bosses, including murder, bootlegging, and other illegal actions undertaken by Organized Crime, despite ongoing threats from his nemesis, a corrupt New York detective with ties to the underworld.
Whether Irish, Italian, or Jewish, the common goal was survivalno matter the cost. And to survive on the streets of New York City during these violent times, Ryan King is called upon to battle rival gangs and organize one of the largest and ultimately most successful alcohol smuggling operations in New York. At the same time, he must protect his family while balancing his love interests with the loyal Irish/Italian lass Nina and the rich and sexy East Side girl, Melanie.
In Kings of the West Side, author Cliff Bond has created a dynamic thriller and a compelling look at the criminal subculture in Prohibition-era New York. Intriguing in its originality and historical detail, his genuinely gripping debut novel is entertaining, fast-paced, and suspenseful throughout.

“Journey” is a word that describes Cliff very well. His journey has included being an ASE-certified auto mechanic, car dealership service manager, pastor, chaplain, counselor, husband, father, and primarily a grateful student of life. Cliff has worked as a clinical chaplain for many years and has learned much from the amazing people he has met in healthcare. His hope is that the lessons taught to him through the years, by the clients and patients he has encountered, will somehow be brought to life through this book. They are the true experts in life, death, growth, and physical or spiritual healing. It is to them that he is indebted now, and will be, literally, eternally grateful. blessingsonyourjourney.com
