Turpentine 6

Damon Nazareth, a man drawn to killing his own kind for personal gain, has little time to consider death, divine retribution or purgatory. They are a given. Offers of redemption, therefore, in common with miracles, are neither likely nor expected. So, when a demon in the guise of a deceased 1960’s New York gangster comes along touting such an offer there’d be no point in listening, would there? Just walk away... A sound plan, except for one irritating problem: shaking off the attentions of said demon prove more than a little difficult. By degrees tales of ancient pacts and the prospect of an era in decline become hard to discount or ignore, and Damon Nazareth soon finds himself pitted against unshackled evil, his promised redemption irrelevant as circumstances escalate towards chaos.

What chance for an assassin and a failed demon to hold sway? One atrocity after another leads relentlessly towards ultimate catastrophe. A universe devoid of its God, Evil bereft of restraint. Turpentine 6 - the consequences of original sin.
