Synopsis

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. “In Atkins’s morbidly funny new novel … those crazy, trash-talking clowns are truly something for the memory book.”—The New York Times Book Review

(I received a free advance copy of this from NetGalley in exchange for this honest review.) I love being on the Atkins diet… No, not that Atkins diet. (You can have my carbs when you pry them from pudgy dead hands.) I’m talking about the Ace Atkins reading diet in which you get to gorge yourself on tw......more

Goodreads review by Magdalena aka A Bookaholic Swede on June 26, 2019

I've found a series to fill the void left after reading all Longmire books by Craig Johnson. Now, starting with book five in a series is perhaps not the smartest thing to do, but it's my thing and, despite some struggle, in the beginning, to get the hang on the characters is this a book that I felt......more

Goodreads review by K on September 02, 2024

I'd read a good number of the Quinn Colson series, but for some reason, had missed this one. When I looked at my previous ratings, I noticed how consistently I had reacted to them, and The Redeemers. fits right in among its companions at that same 4 star level. Atkins really had a groove going when w......more
