Quinn Colson

Ace Atkins

In the hardscrabble hills of northeast Mississippi, Sheriff Quinn Colson confronts a brutal crime that forces him to reckon with the region’s entrenched corruption, violence, and long-buried resentments. As the investigation widens, Colson finds himself navigating dangerous alliances and the fractured loyalties of a community where poverty and power are deeply intertwined. Combining hard-boiled suspense with a vivid portrait of the modern South, the novel explores justice, betrayal, and the enduring struggle to protect a place—and its people—from forces determined to exploit them.
