The Edgar Award nominated second Quinn Colson novel from the author of The Ranger.
A former journalist who cut his teeth as a crime reporter in the newsroom of The Tampa Tribune, he published his first novel, Crossroad Blues, at 27 and became a full-time novelist at 30. While at the Tribune, Ace earned a Pulitzer Prize nomination for a feature series based on his investigation into a forgotten murder of the 1950s. The story became the core of his critically acclaimed novel, White Shadow, which earned raves from noted authors and critics. In his next novels, Wicked City, Devil's Garden, and Infamous, blended first-hand interviews and original research into police and court records with tightly woven plots and incisive characters. The historical novels told great American stories by weaving fact and fiction into a colorful, seamless tapestry.
"Ace Atkins goes straight for the throat in The Lost
Ones."--Houston Press More Praise for The Lost Ones "Atkins' sense
of place is superb, his story stark and suspenseful. Quinn Colson
has a quick wit, a strong sense of honor, and radiates sex appeal,
but more importantly he knows the difference between law and
order."--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Atkins delivers a powerful,
ripped-from-the-headlines plot."--Mystery Scene "Atkins seems to
have hit his stride with this splendid sequel to the Edgar
Award-nominated The Ranger."--Library Journal "Edgar-finalist
Atkins showcases his versatility in his exciting, thoughtful second
thriller starring ex-Ranger-turned-lawman Quinn Colson...a
contemporary laconic lead battling evil that could come straight
out of a Gary Cooper western."--Publishers Weekly
More Praise For Ace Atkins's 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 "Ace Atkins's 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 "Quinn Colson is my kind of guy. I would follow him
anywhere."--Lee Child "Atkins finds his natural-born storytellers
everywhere. It's all music to these ears."--Marilyn Stasio, The New
York Times Book Review
