The Redeemers (Quinn Colson) - Tapa dura

Praise for "The Forsaken"
"Articulate characters [and] a densely layered stack of stories. Atkins finds his natural-born storytellers everywhere. It's all music to these ears."--Marilyn Stasio, "The New York Times Book Review"
"Atkins excels in solid pacing, effective dialogue and compelling characters . . . Atkins shapes Quinn not as a superman, but as a flawed man who wants to do the right thing for his hometown . . . The excellent Quinn Colson novels, as illustrated in "The Forsaken," are the true showcase for Atkins' storytelling skills."--Associated Press
"A darkly exciting thrill ride."--"Tampa Bay Times"
"Don't miss this book or series. It's one of the best.""--Bookreporter.com"
"Quinn is facing a seemingly impossible string of complications in this fourth series installment, but somehow all these layers of catastrophe make sense together, a testament to Atkins' ability to capture small-town life. The dive into Jericho's dark past makes for great reading as Atkins rolls through a handful of perspectives, propelling the story's threads toward an adrenaline-laced, Wild West-style conclusion."--"Booklist "(starred review)
"Atkins is at the top of his game in Quinn's fourth appearance, filled with nonstop action and moral ambiguities. The sheriff's many flaws only enhance his human appeal."--"Kirkus Reviews" (starred review)
"Lean prose, solid pacing, and a compelling lead distinguish bestseller Atkins's gritty fourth Quinn Colson novel . . . That Quinn resembles the late Robert B. Parker's Spenser--both are uncomplicated, principled men unafraid to use violence to protect themselves and others."--"Publishers Weekly"

"Praise for the Quinn Colson series
"In Quinn Colson, bestselling author Ace Atkins has created an American hero in a time when we need him. He displays the attributes we pine for and we hope still exist: honesty, humility, independence, integrity, and toughness when the situation calls for it. Imagine a tall and silent cowboy returning from the war to his native Mississippi to find it's gone rotten and corrupt in his absence. His duty is to clean it up. That's Quinn Colson." --C. J. BOX
"Ace Atkins' 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
"Ace Atkins' Quinn Colson series began with "The Ranger," a thriller set in contemporary Mississippi, with the feel of classic westerns like "Shane "and "High Noon," and the series just shot off from there, getting better and better with each book. With terrific, inflected characters and a dark, subtle sense of place and history, these are exceptional novels." -- JOHN SANDFORD
"Quinn Colson is my kind of guy. I would follow him anywhere." -- LEE CHILD

"One of the best crime writers at work today."—Michael Connelly

The electrifying new novel in New York Times–bestselling author Ace Atkins’s acclaimed series about the real Deep South.
 
He is only in his early thirties, but now Quinn Colson is jobless—voted out of office as sheriff of Tibbehah County, Mississippi, thanks to the machinations of county kingpin Johnny Stagg. He has offers, in bigger and better places, but before he goes, he’s got one more job to do—bring down Stagg’s criminal operations for good.

At least that’s the plan. But in the middle of the long, hot summer, a trio of criminals stage a bold, wall-smashing break-in at the home of a local lumber mill owner, making off with a million dollars in cash from his safe, which is curious, because the mill owner is wealthy—but not that wealthy. None of this has anything to do with Colson, but during the investigation, two men are killed, one of them the new sheriff. His friend, acting sheriff Lillie Virgil, and a dangerous former flame, Anna Lee Stevens, both ask him to step in, and reluctantly he does, only to discover that that safe contained more than just money—it held secrets.
Secrets that could either save Colson—or destroy him once and for all.
