Uncommon Prayer Scott Arnold

Spies and lies threaten everything you hold dear--Thank God for Father Flenn! A missing Birmingham debutante and a murdered teenage prostitute hold the key to unraveling a foreign plot to sway the upcoming presidential election. A war of unprecedented proportions will likely break out unless Father Scott Flenn agrees to help his former CIA associate, Zack Matteson, and Birmingham Detective Guy Rainsford, unravel two seemingly separate mysteries. The trio find themselves up against an unscrupulous billionaire and the powerful son of a famous Southern evangelist.

Uncommon Prayer begins in a dark world of prostitution, espionage, and betrayal. Father Scott Flenn was entangled in that darkness for twelve long years as an agent for the CIA. After a startling experience in Edinburgh, he has devoted the remainder of his life to becoming a beacon of light and hope. Now, Flenn must decide whether to remain in his new life or re-enter his own cryptic past to help solve a murder and possibly save the world from an impending disaster.

"Uncommon Prayer is a can't-put-it-down espionage whodunnit, and Father Flenn is the best new thriller hero since Quinn Colson. He solves murders and averts national disaster while keeping his moral bearings. If only we could send him to Washington! Let's hope there are more Father Flenn novels coming!" -- Richard Vinson, Dean of Undergraduate Studies and Director of Institutional Research. Author of "Luke"
