Soon to be a an FX series starring and produced by Matthew
McConaughey A LitHub Most Anticipated Book of Summer The Churchgoer
is a wonderful debut novel from a writer with more than a few
tricks up his sleeve."--Los Angeles Times A haunting debut literary
noir about a former pastor's search to find a missing woman in the
toxic, contradictory underbelly of southern California. "He was
finished with church, with God, with all of it. But to find the
girl, he has to go back." In Mark Haines's former life, he was an
evangelical youth pastor, a role model, and a family man--until he
abandoned his wife, his daughter, and his beliefs. Now he's marking
time between sunny days surfing and dark nights working security at
an industrial complex. His isolation is broken when Cindy, a
charming twenty-two-year old drifter he sees hitchhiking on the
Pacific Coast Highway, hustles him for a breakfast and a place to
crash--two cynical kindred spirits. Then his co-worker is murdered
in a robbery gone wrong and Cindy disappears on the same night.
Haines knows he should let it go and return to his safe life of
solitude. Instead, he's driven to find out where Cindy went, under
stranger and stranger circumstances. Soon Mark is chasing leads,
each one taking him back into a world where his old life came
crashing down--into the seedier side of southern California's drug
trade and ultimately into the secrets of an Evangelical megachurch
where his past and his future are about to converge. What begins as
an investigation becomes a haunting mystery and a psychological
journey both for Mark, and for the elusive young stranger he won't
let get away. Set in the early 2000s, The Churchgoer is a gripping
noir, a quiet subversion of the genre, and a powerful meditation on
belief, morality, and the nature of evil in contemporary life.
