“Quinn Colson is my kind of guy. I would follow him anywhere.”—Lee Child

“Ace Atkins’ Quinn Colson series is, quite simply, the best in crime fiction today—and also so much more. With a rich cast of characters, and a hero we can count on, these are tales of morality and desperation, of shocking violence and the enduring resilience of family and community. And the emotional places they take us make them unforgettable.”—Megan Abbott

“In Quinn Colson, bestselling author Ace Atkins has created an American hero in a time when we need him. He displays the attributes we pine for and we hope still exist: honesty, humility, independence, integrity, and toughness when the situation calls for it. Imagine a tall and silent cowboy returning from the war to his native Mississippi to find it’s gone rotten and corrupt in his absence. His duty is to clean it up. That’s Quinn Colson.”—C. J. Box
