Publisher's Summary

Introduction read by the author.

"Adam Lazarre-White's narration is multifaceted. His deep, resonating voice creates an enveloping soundscape, and he fully embodies the unique main characters of Cosby's latest crime novel."—AudioFile on Razorblade Tears

Award-winning New York Times bestselling author S. A. Cosby’s debut novel My Darkest Prayer is republished in a new edition, with a new introduction from the author.

“I handle the bodies.”

Whether it's working at his cousin's funeral home or tossing around the local riffraff at his favorite bar, Nathan Waymaker is a man who knows how to handle the bodies. A former marine and sheriff's deputy, Nathan has built a reputation in his small Southern town as a man who can help when all other avenues have been exhausted. When a beloved local minister is found dead, his parishioners ask Nathan to make sure the death isn’t swept under the rug.

What starts out as an easy payday soon descends 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 use all his varied skills and some of his wit to navigate the murky waters of small town corruption even as dark secrets of his own threaten to come to the surface.

First from this Author!

Great novel with a lot to pull from. It’s a dark gritty story that involves you deeply with what’s going on you feel like you know the characters and the descriptive and beautiful writing style helps to paint the picture in a way that just makes sense. Definitely going to be listening and grabbing this authors latest works. Oh and the narration was fantastic :)

Great story!

S A Cosby certainly knows how to weave a story. The characters, the sense of place are strengths that keep me wanting more. Can’t wait to read ‘All Sinners Bleed’.
