A global crisis starts with a single kill. Only Rake Ozenna is in a position to stop it.

Major Rake Ozenna’s latest assignment sounds simple: infiltrate the Kato family — Japan’s most powerful crime empire — and use their estranged daughter, Sara Kato, to expose a growing threat to international security.

Then a message flashes on Rake’s secure phone from Sara: Rake Ozenna. Help me.

A man is found with his throat cut at a Peace Institute on the remote Åland Islands and all the evidence has been carefully planted to point to Sara.

Sent undercover to the snowbound international conference, Rake must reach Sara before Finnish authorities — or the Kato syndicate — silence her for good.

But the deeper he digs, the clearer the truth becomes: the murder is only the opening move in a far more dangerous plan.

As a violent blizzard seals off the islands, Rake is cut off from backup, surrounded by enemies he can’t identify, and forced to protect the woman at the centre of it all — a woman who may be the key to stopping a global catastrophe . . .

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?
