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 dealing with 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 ensure 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.
