Synopsis

Mississippi sheriff Quinn Colson had to admit he admired the bank robbers. A new bank was hit almost every week, and the robbers rushed in and out with such skill and precision it reminded him of raids he'd led back in Afghanistan and Iraq when he was an army ranger. In fact, it reminded him so much of the techniques in the Ranger Handbook that he couldn't help wondering if the outlaws were former Rangers themselves.

And that was definitely going to be a problem. If he stood any chance of catching them, he was going to need the help of old allies, new enemies, and a lot of luck. The enemies he had plenty of. It was the allies and the luck that were going to be in woefully short supply.

About this title

Review

Praise for THE INNOCENTS:
The rough-and-tumble relationship between two tough-as-nails officers and the place they love provides plenty of action [and] well-developed characters. Kirkus Reviews
Atkins delivers another rousing thriller. The Innocents moves at a brisk pace through Mississippi backroads to diners and cigar bars where deals are made but not always carried out. Atkins allows Quinn to make mistakes and have foibles, making him an even more complex character. Associated Press

Scorching Quinn Colson and his ornery sidekick Lillie Virgil embark on a tense search for answers that may rip the community apart. Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Ace Atkins knows the South Readers get more than a mystery, they get an entertaining lesson in the sociology of the small-town South. St. Louis Post-Dispatch
A gritty, darkly comic tale of greed, violence, and unexpected redemption. [Quinn Colson proceeds like they did in the good old days with solid interviews, in-harm s-way investigating, and bold intuitive reasoning [yet] in the way he conducts himself, speaks, and handles situations, there s a human being here that is modern and not aping Chandler or Hammett. Just the right balance.] Quinn has to be the most refreshing New York Times bestselling series character that I ve come across in quite some time, and I m hard pressed to name others that compare on this level and, holy hell, that s an invigorating statement to make. What else is there to say read The Innocents by Ace Atkins. It s literary crime fiction worthy of the hype. Criminal Behavior
Nothing short of riveting, a page turner that you will stay up all night to read. Bookreporter.com
An addictive read. The Innocents shines a glaring light down the darkest alleys of small-town Mississippi, but does so with the compassion of one who loves the region and wants to reveal the diamonds along with the dregs the journey there is the true joy in this gem of a crime novel.
