Full of wily humor and epic bad behavior, this is an ebullient, rollicking ride you don’t dare miss. * Megan Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of Beware the Woman *A masterfully crafted plot and seductive Southern setting to create a novel that sings. * Don Winslow, #1 bestselling author *Clever, intricate and moves with unstoppable momentum and twists to the very last page. * Michael Connelly, #1 bestselling author *This is a stay-up-reading-till-midnight thriller, bold, spirited, and impossible to put down. * Meg Gardiner, #1 bestselling author *An instant Southern noir classic … Larger than life characters, wry humour, deep pathos and storytelling that embrace both the sacred and the profane. * S.A. Cosby, bestselling author of ALL THE SINNERS BLEED *Ace Atkins is the Southern noir king … the work of a master storyteller at the top of his game. A must-read! * Lisa Unger, bestselling author of The New Couple in 5B *A powerful and slick slice of Southern noir stand-alone [with] an overall plot that navigates through many conflicting directions but always remains under Atkins’ tight control and a lush prose at times reminiscent of James Lee Burke … addictive stuff. * Crime Time *A Memphis noir with soul. * The Times *This Southern Noir thriller kicks like a triple Jack Daniel’s. * Peterborough Telegraph *
