The Ninth Step - John Milton #8 (John Milton Thrillers) - Plot & Excerpts
He wanted an hour’s worth of peace, a small interval where he could close his eyes and listen to the shares of the men and women who were just like him, with the same compulsions and problems, the same urge toward self-destruction. The meeting was in Fitzrovia, at the St Charles Borromeo Church on Ogle Street. He hadn’t been to the church before; it was a Step & Tradition meeting, focusing on the twelve steps and the twelve traditions. The step that had been chosen for discussion was the third, requiring that alcoholics made a decision to turn their will and their lives over to the care of God as they understood Him. Milton sat at the back and listened. He didn’t have the piety of others, and, although he did not believe in God, he tried to clear his mind in the hope that he might receive a sign that what he was about to do was right. He had orchestrated a course of events that had its own momentum now, and there could be no resiling from it, no stopping it from hurtling toward its inevitable conclusion.
