Darkest Prayer: A Novel

S. A. Cosby's award-winning, New York Times bestselling debut novel "My Darkest Prayer" has been republished in a new edition, featuring a new introduction from the author. As the Los Angeles Times praised, "S.A. Cosby's reissued debut thriller proves he was a master from the start...Cosby has in three books emerged as one of the genre's best living practitioners...its reissue is a brilliant idea."

Nathan Waymaker, the protagonist, is a man who knows how to handle the bodies, whether it's working at his cousin's funeral home or dealing with the local troublemakers at his favorite bar. A former marine and sheriff's deputy, Nathan has earned a reputation in his small Southern town as someone who can step in when all other options have been exhausted.

When a beloved local minister is found dead, his parishioners turn to Nathan, asking him to ensure that the death is not swept under the rug. What starts as a seemingly straightforward job soon spirals into a maze of mayhem, filled with wannabe gangsters, vicious crime lords, porn stars, crooked police officers, and a particularly treacherous preacher and his mysterious wife.

Nathan must utilize all of his varied skills and quick wit to navigate the murky waters of small-town corruption, even as dark secrets from his own past threaten to surface. As the Washington Post aptly described, "[A] colorful tale of small-town corruption...[Cosby's] powerful storytelling skills shine through."

The reissue of "My Darkest Prayer" marks a significant milestone in S.A. Cosby's literary journey. With three acclaimed novels under his belt, Cosby has firmly established himself as one of the best living practitioners in the genre, as recognized by the Los Angeles Times. This new edition, complete with the author's fresh introduction, offers readers a chance to revisit the origins of Cosby's acclaimed work and witness the emergence of a true master storyteller.

Whether you're a long-time fan of S.A. Cosby's writing or a newcomer to his gritty, compelling narratives, the republication of "My Darkest Prayer" is a brilliant opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of Nathan Waymaker and experience the author's powerful storytelling skills firsthand.
