Jack Price, a small-town public defender living in Coles Creek, Mississippi, gets more than he bargains for when he's appointed to represent Lester Crowe, a mysterious drifter charged with the murder of local high school girl Amanda Dunbar.
Jack soon finds out Lester Crowe is no ordinary client; he just might be the Devil himself. He's got a deal for Jack: help him beat the murder charge - by any means necessary - and Lester will help Jack with his failing marriage and alcohol problem. More importantly, he'll help Jack find his daughter, Sarah, who was kidnapped two years prior.
Jack is torn. He'd do anything for his daughter, but he knows helping Lester Crowe could cost him his soul. With the help of a former client named Eddie who owes Jack a favor, Jack embarks on a mission to find Sarah on his own.
In a race against time, Jack must find and rescue Sarah before Lester is acquitted for murder. Along the way he'll have to deal with Lester's minions - a group of people Jack's wife dubs the "broken men" - as well as the supernatural games Lester plays, even as he's locked in his cell at the Hernando County Sheriff's Department.
This supernatural thriller, told from Jack's perspective and set on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River, runs about 67,000 words.
At least the first two chapters will be posted here on Wattpad.

So, when he is hit by a bus and suddenly finds himself face-to-face with the Devil, naturally he is surprised. After a pleasant dinner, Lucifer takes Jack on a horrific journey through Jacks own life, tormenting him with horrific visions and psychological torture. Caution!!! This story contains graphic adult content (sex, language, drug and alcohol abuse and adult themes, including domestic violence) reader discretion is advised. ***Frightfest 2016 silver winner*** ***Second place for best Horror in Wicked Awards*** Cover by @Finnyh From the frightfest judges: FINN H. ARLETT: Ben's narrative in The Sins of Jack Price is original and focussed, and the immoral main character after whom the story is named is oddly quite likeable. I found it fun to watch him squirm. Ben's depiction of Lucifer is what cinched this win for me, as he is snide, devious, sinister, but unapologetically charming about it all. Altogether a quality read from an upcoming author. GAVIN HETHERINGTON: BennyBedlam's imagination knows no bounds, and from what is presented in The Sins of Jack Price, he writes in a way that entertains with a very brilliant idea behind it. It's unique in its concept and I can't wait to see this writer grow and develop his boundless craft.Complete![The Prosecution of Sarah Evans [Sample/In the Editing Process]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/366446329-256-k809476.jpg)
