Now is my time.

Free from the shackles of my lies.

Exposed to those who would oppose me.

I've made all the right moves.

Aligned things perfectly to fall into place precisely.

Once my final plan is set in motion...

No one will be in a position to stop it.

Not even God himself.

I'll pay for my sins when my time on this planet has ended.

But I'm prepared to do my penance.

And I'll offer my enemies absolution before I pull the trigger.

It's the least I can do before I take this city into my death grip.

People say the Devil once lived in Chicago...

They haven't seen anything yet.

***Abiding Sloth is the fifteenth book in The Deadliest Sin Series about organized crime in Chicago. This series is best read in order, as the stories are chronological and each sin builds on the events of the previous one.***
