I’ve been hiding for decades. Watching and waiting. Calling the shots while maintaining the ruse. Only I haven’t been cowering in the shadows… I’ve been in plain sight. Veiled by the church and faith. This collar gives me the perfect cover. No one has ever suspected the truth. Of who and what I really am. But it’s time to step from behind the cloth and into the light. Because Chicago is ripe for the taking. The families are warring. And now, I have an ally who will ensure my enemies will blow away in the wind this city is famous for with one little breath. ***Sloth is the thirteenth book in The Deadliest Sin Series about organized crime in Chicago.

The truth may be shocking. It may not be easy to accept. But it’s the truth nonetheless. Ugly and dark. We’ve come to a point where keeping it buried only prolongs the inevitable. And I’ve taken steps that mean there isn’t any turning back. Blood will spill. Enemies will fall. Those who believe themselves to be safe will be square in my sights. There isn’t anything anyone can do to stop it now. Just as the end of times is coming… So am I. ***Accepting Sloth is the fourteenth book in The Deadliest Sin Series about organized crime in Chicago.

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.
