THE FIRST NOVEL IN ACE ATKINS' NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING QUINN COLSON SERIES."In Quinn Colson, bestselling author Ace Atkins has created an American hero in a time when we need him."-C. J. Box After years of war, Army Ranger Quinn Colson returns home to the rugged, rough hill country of northeast Mississippi to find his native Tibbehah County overrun with corruption, decay, meth runners, and violence. His uncle, the longtime county sheriff, is dead. A suicide, he's told, but others-like tomboy deputy Lillie Virgil-whisper murder. In the days that follow, it's up to Colson to discover the truth, not only about his uncle, but about his family, his friends, his town, and himself. And once it's discovered, there's no going back for this real hero of the Deep South.

In this "morbidly funny"(The New York Times) thriller in Ace Atkin's southern crime series, former Mississippi sheriff Quinn Colson might be out of a job-but that doesn't mean he's staying out of trouble... Quinn Colson is unemployed-voted out of his position as sheriff of Tibbehah County, Mississippi. He has offers in bigger and better places, but before he goes, Colson's got one more job to do-bring down county kingpin Johnny Stagg's criminal operations for good.At least that's the plan. But in the middle of the long, hot summer, somebody smashes through the house of a wealthy mill owner, making off with a safe full of money and shooting a deputy. As Deputy Lillie Virgil hunts the criminals and draws Colson in, other people join the chase, too, but with a much more personal motive. For that safe contained more than just money-it held secrets. And as Colson well knows, some secrets can kill.
