The St. Petersburg Confessions

“Father, I have sins to confess.” “Of course you do. What evil have you done?” It’s St. Petersburg, right before the fall of Communism. Father Fedor, an Orthodox priest at St. Catherine’s Cathedral, is locking up after the late night mass when he hears a stranger’s voice call out to him. The man begs to confess immediately, afraid that if he waits he will become a lost soul. Of course Father Fedor accepts, but what he doesn’t know, what he isn’t expecting, is that this madman has committed the same sin ninety-nine times. THE ST. PETERSBURG CONFESSIONS is a gripping tale that clocks in at a little over 20,000 words or 110 pages long.
