Opis

The extraordinary new novel in the New York Times-bestselling author's acclaimed series about the real Deep South--"a joy ride into the heart of darkness" (The Washington Post).

Quinn Colson is jobless--voted out of his position as sheriff of Tibbehah County, Mississippi. 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, secrets can kill.

Recenzje

Praise for The Redeemers

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
 
It s a satisfying mix of modern Southern gothic atmosphere and thrilling action, salted with crackling humor....I ve always enjoyed the William Faulkner meets Raymond Chandler setting and atmosphere, and Colson is a compelling character. Atkins has also created a believable, intriguing supporting cast.  This time around Atkins has cranked up the humor in the mix. The Redeemers is still dark and violent, but it boasts a passel of bumbling bad guys who made me think of some of the crooks and killers in Elmore Leonard s books and the Coen brothers movies, colorful characters who are way too self-confident for their own good. Tampa Bay Times

Atkins s Quinn series has been twice nominated for an Edgar Award, and The Redeemers continues those high standards. Atkins delves deeply into each character s motives, making each a believable person....Atkins howcases his storytelling versatility with The Redeemers. Associated Press

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
