<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Investigating a series of bank robberies that have been orchestrated with skill and precision worthy of a military raid, Mississippi sheriff and former Army Ranger Quinn Colson calls on old allies and new enemies in his effort to outmaneuver a sophisticated band of elite criminals.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A classic Southern tale of backroom deals, tainted honor, dysfunctional family, high-stakes greed--and everyday heroism--from the<i> New York Times</i>-bestselling author.</b> <p/>Mississippi sheriff Quinn Colson had to admit he admired the bank robbers. A new bank was hit almost every week, and the robbers rushed in and out with such skill and precision it reminded him of raids he'd led back in Afghanistan and Iraq when he was an Army Ranger. 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. <p/>And that was definitely going to be a problem. If he stood any chance of catching them, he was going to need the help of old allies, new enemies, and a lot of luck. The enemies, he had plenty of. It was the allies and the luck that were going to be in woefully short supply.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>The Fallen</i></b> <p/>"Beneath the down-home Southern trappings, fans will find Atkins' customary mixture of political corruption, true-blue policing, intimate betrayals, and wholesale violence....[P]uts a whole new spin on catharsis."--<i>Kirkus Reviews <p/></i>"As in recent books, Atkins lightens the mood with some humor, presenting a warts-and-all portrayal of a Southern community."--<i>Publishers Weekly <p/></i>"Action-packed and engrossing...a superb novel about corruption, politics, crime, dirty deals, and people trying to lead honest lives. Atkins delivers stronger tales with each outing."--Associated Press<i> <p/></i>"<i>The Fallen</i> stands as an example of crime fiction's ability to reflect society while completely entertaining the reader....It is Michael Mann's <i>Heat</i> filtered though both Faulkner and <i>Smokey & The Bandit</i>, with Atkins fully engaged in every trope he loves as well as the time he is writing in."--MysteryPeople.com <p/><b>More Praise For Ace Atkins's Quinn Colson Series</b> <p/>"In Quinn Colson, bestselling author Ace Atkins has created an American hero in a time when we need him."--C.
