Thank God for the Sinners follows Rick Price, a tortured soul, as he tries to balance his high stakes career, while keeping secret his role as a clandestine double agent. 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.

Ricks story unravels through a series of gratuitous flashbacks, revealing the harrowing details of his sick and twisted childhood. The damage of his past lingers, tormenting him as he spirals through a relentless cycle of violence, perversion, and bad judgement. The trauma continues as we follow Rick through his madness battling his obsession with anger, addiction, punk rock, and exotic debauchery.

Thank God for the Sinners is a precautionary tale featuring an unlikely hero trapped in a surreal world where the lines between madness and reality are blurred. 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?

From former CIA analyst and best-selling author David McCloskey, a novel that takes readers deep into the shadow war between Iran and Israel.

Kamran Esfahani, a dentist living out a dreary existence in Stockholm, agrees to spy for the Mossad after he’s recruited by Arik Glitzman, the chief of a clandestine unit tasked with running targeted assassinations and sabotage inside Iran. At Glitzman’s direction, Kam returns to his native Tehran and opens a dental practice there, using it as a cover for the Israeli intelligence agency. Kam proves to be a skillful asset, quietly earning money helping Glitzman smuggle weapons, run surveillance, and conduct kidnappings. But when Kam tries to recruit an Iranian widow seeking to avenge the death of her husband at the hands of the Mossad, the operation goes terribly wrong, landing him in prison under the watchful eye of a sadistic officer whom he knows only as the “General.”
