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.

[V Shep · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Thus my 3rd book by Cosby and it didn’t disappoint

[Diamond · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Book 3 of Crosbys & I can’t get enough! This author sure knows how to develop a plot.

Nate is a former marine & police officer. He currently works at a funeral home, and is content with life until some women from a local church approaches him with a job.

Someone in their small town was found dead, labeled by the police as a suicide, but for some, this is hard to believe. As a former officer, Nate begins to ask questions, and it’s like the old folks say: if you go looking for trouble, you might find it.

In his search for answers, Nate makes a shocking discovery that has the ability to put him in danger, and rock the entire town.

Scandal,mischief,secrets, and maybe even justice awaits.
