Ace Atkins Quinn Colson novels have been exceptional from the start … whether readers are new to the series or fans from the start, The Broken Places will touch them the way all great novels do, profoundly. - Shelf AwarenessThe action is stark and gripping, the Southern locale suitably atmospheric and the bevy of characters convincing. - The Houston ChronicleAtkins continues to combine sturdy character studies with an action-packed tale about the contemporary issues of war veterans and small-town corruption … The Broken Places again shows what a powerful storyteller Atkins is. - Tulsa WorldAtkins just gets better and better … I will throw down against anyone who disagrees with the statement that Atkins is one of our best American authors. Period … No matter what literary genre you might favor, The Broken Places is a book you should read and will not forget. - bookreporter.comAtkins voice is graceful and tense … Atkins habit-forming series [shares] a tremendous sense of (rural) place and powerfully nuanced characterization with those of James Lee Burke, Craig Johnson, and C. J. Box. - BooklistA high-tension thriller with a hero to rival Jack Reacher - Kirkus ReviewsAmid the full-throttle plot, Atkins never loses sight of his characters sensitivities. - Publishers WeeklyAbout The Author
