A folder he shouldn't open. A confession that could burn down the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 4:15 on a freezing January morning, a young man in an Audi slips a bag of cash into the depository slot of a Ukrainian Catholic church and drives off into the dark. It's the kind of thing nobody notices. Except two cops notice everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePat Conlon and Carlos Martinez have worked Chicago's streets together for decades - partners, brothers, throwbacks who still believe in the job even when the department doesn't deserve them. When a street informant starts talking about semi-trucks, hundreds of brand-new Glocks, and an alderman nobody can touch, the partners pull a thread that runs from the gang corners of the West Side to a grocery store in Ukrainian Village, across the Atlantic to a war zone, and into a confessional where the truth finally has to be spoken out loud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by former Chicago Police Officer Danny O'Toole, The Confession is a crime novel that could only come from someone who lived it - the informants, the surveillance, the politics, the loyalty, and the price of doing real police work in a city that eats its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome sins get forgiven.
