After years of war, Army Ranger Quinn Colson returns home to the rugged, rough hill country of northeast Mississippi to find his native Tibbehah County plagued by corruption, decay, meth runners, and violence. His uncle, the longtime county
sheriff, is dead. A suicide, he's told, but others—like tomboy Deputy Lillie Virgil—whisper murder.
In the days that follow, it's up to Colson to discover the truth, not only about his uncle but about his family, his friends, his town, and himself. And once it's discovered, there's no turning back for this real hero of the Deep South.

      Best known for historical thrillers like Infamous, Atkins kicks off a new series with a solid action-packed yarn featuring U.S. Army Ranger Quinn Colson. When Colson returns home to Jericho, Miss., from his most recent tour of duty in Afghanistan for his uncle's funeral, he's surprised to learn that his uncle, former sheriff Hampton Beckett, shot himself to death. An old friend, Deputy Lillie Virgil, suspects that Beckett was actually murdered. Colson's efforts to prove that theory bring him up against both the violent and the corrupt. During Colson's time away, his rural community has been overrun with meth dealers, whose blight affects those close to him. The contours of the story line are a bit too familiarâthe prodigal son returning home to clean up the townâand the setup for sequels is predictable, but the author's superior prose will carry most readers along and raise hopes for more original plotting next time. Greg Iles fans will find much to like.
