Kirkus Reviews’ Best Books: 10 Best Novels for Summer Reading, 2013

A Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist-turned-New York Times bestselling author, Ace Atkins draws on his years as a crime reporter to craft contemporary tales blending the Old West with crime noir. The Broken Places finds Sheriff Quinn Colson dealing with a rash of unwelcome visitors--infamous murderer Casey Dixon, escaped convicts seeking revenge on Casey, and a tornado cutting a wide swath through town.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The action is stark and gripping, the Southern locale suitably atmospheric, and the bevy of characters convincing.” —Houston Chronicle
“Ace Atkins’s killing honesty sets a new standard for Southern crime novels.’” —New York Times Book Review
“Amid the full-throttle plot, Atkins never loses sight of his characters’ sensitivities.” —Publishers Weekly
“A high-tension thriller with a hero to rival Jack Reacher.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Atkins’ 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.” —Booklist
“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 Awareness
