Praise for The Redeemers
In Atkins s morbidly funny new novel. . . those crazy, trash-talking clowns are truly something for the memory book. The New York Times Book Review
It s a satisfying mix of modern Southern gothic atmosphere and thrilling action, salted with crackling humor. . . . I ve always enjoyed the William Faulkner meets Raymond Chandler setting and atmosphere, and Colson is a compelling character. Atkins has also created a believable, intriguing supporting cast. This time around Atkins has cranked up the humor in the mix. The Redeemers is still dark and violent, but it boasts a passel of bumbling bad guys who made me think of some of the crooks and killers in Elmore Leonard s books and the Coen brothers movies, colorful characters who are way too self-confident for their own good. Tampa Bay Times
Atkins s Quinn series has been twice nominated for an Edgar Award, and The Redeemers continues those high standards. Atkins delves deeply into each character s motives, making each a believable person. . . . Atkins howcases his storytelling versatility with The Redeemers. Associated Press
