The Sinners
Ace Atkins
In the new novel from New York Times-bestselling crime master Ace Atkins, violence comes in many forms…and this time it may be more than Quinn Colson can handle.The
Pritchards had never been worth a damn–an evil, greedy family who made
their living dealing drugs and committing mayhem. Years ago, Colson’s
late uncle had put the clan’s patriarch in prison, but now he’s getting
out, with revenge, power, and family business on his mind. To make
matters worse, a shady trucking firm with possible ties to the Gulf
Coast syndicate has moved into Tibbehah, and they have their own methods
of intimidation.With his longtime deputy Lillie Virgil now
working up in Memphis, Quinn Colson finds himself having to fall back on
some brand-new deputies to help him out, but with Old West-style
violence breaking out, and his own wedding on the horizon, this is
without a doubt Colson’s most trying time as sheriff. Cracks are opening
up all over the county, and shadowy figures are crawling out through
them–and they’re all heading directly for him. Review
