"Captivating from the disturbing first page to the chilling last! This provocative and thrilling novel makes me proud to be a fellow Sinner!" -Latino Pellegrini, award-winning director, Toast with the Gods.
"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. Eric Magun writes with a voice that is as bold as it is vulnerable, creating a narrative that resonates long after the final page."
-Jerry Gladstone, best-selling author of The Common Thread.
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?
Book Review:
How far can a broken man fall before he disappears entirely—or claws his way back? Thank God For The Sinners: A Rick Price by Eric Magun is a raw, brutal descent into one man’s tortured psyche, layered with espionage, trauma, and dark humor that burns like a slow fuse.
From the very first page, we’re thrown into chaos: a Chinese prostitute dead, a hotel room soaked in consequences, and Rick Price—double agent, addict, and deeply damaged soul—on the run. But this isn’t just a thriller. Through vivid, disturbing flashbacks, Magun lays bare the roots of Rick’s inner demons: a shattered childhood, buried abuse, and a lifelong flirtation with destruction.
What makes this novel stand out is its unapologetic voice. It’s wild, unfiltered, and often disturbing—but it’s also unflinchingly human. Think Tarantino meets Bukowski in a Bourdain-style odyssey through moral decay and fleeting redemption.
Not for the faint of heart—but impossible to look away.
