DESCRIPTION:
I have read every book Ace Atkins has ever written but this is probably my last. gatoruno There are different political views in this country. Thirty seven states out of fifty differ sharply with Mr. Atkins. He still pens an adequate tale but it is permeated by his loathing of conservatives. When I read a novel I want to escape the 24/7 news channels. He writes as an angered and embittered author, never failing to ridicule those with whom he disagrees. I think I can do without his Politics 101 lectures. Oh well, there are a ton of other talented writers.. Outstanding Read!! The Fallen is the latest in the Quinn Colson series and is the best to date. You won't be able to put it down!!!!!. "Like Faulkner with a mean streak" according to david leavitt. One of the best in the series. Really getting comfortable in this world with these characters. Can't wait till the next one.

In fact, it reminded him so much of the techniques in the Ranger Handbook that he couldn’t help wondering if the outlaws were former Rangers themselves. Quinn and his right-hand woman, straight-talking deputy Lillie Virgil, turned the county upside down after the crew hit Jericho First National, but they had disappeared like smoke. A new bank was getting hit every week, and the robbers rushed in and out with such skill and precision it reminded him of raids he’d led as an Army Ranger. From New York Times-bestselling Southern crime master Ace Atkins comes a rollicking, suspenseful tale of bank robbers, good ole boy politicians, tr
Atkins delivers stronger tales with each outing."— Associated Press"The Fallen stands as an example of crime fiction’s ability to reflect society while completely entertaining the reader. It is Michael Mann’s Heat filtered though both Faulkner and Smokey & The Bandit, with Atkins fully engaged in every trope he loves as well as the time he is writing in." —MysteryPeople . Praise for THE FALLEN“Beneath the down-home Southern trappings, fans will find Atkins' customary mixture of political corruption, true-blue policing, intimate betrayals, and wholesale violence….Puts a whole new spin on catharsis.” —Kirkus Reviews"As in recent books, Atkins lightens the mood wi
