“Equal parts Anthony Bourdain and Quentin Tarantino, Price’s chaotic journey navigating an uncivil China (and his own heart of darkness) is a combustible mix of humor, raw vulnerability, and jaw-dropping “holy f***, did that just happen?”
—Wayne Price, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker.

“What sets Thank God for the Sinners apart is its unfiltered honesty. It challenges the reader to confront uncomfortable truths while also offering glimpses of redemption and hope.”
—Jerry Gladstone, best-selling author of The Common Thread.

Thank God for the Sinners is a precautionary tale featuring an unlikely hero, Rick Price, trapped in a surreal world where the lines between madness and reality are blurred. When a Chinese prostitute dies during an unsavory sex act in his hotel room, Rick is thrust into a frantic scramble to protect his innocence and save his life. Could Rick’s “sinful” tendencies be the result of his childhood abuse, reckless choices, or the relentless pressure of being manipulated as a deep-state operative? Is it the everyday stress of the job that is driving him mad or was he destined to be a sinner from the start?
