Quinn Colson returns to Jericho, Mississippi, and gets pulled back
into a world of greed and violence in this gritty, darkly comic tale
from New York Times bestselling Southern crime master Ace Atkins.
After being voted out of office and returning to the war zone he'd left
behind, Quinn Colson is back in Jericho, trying to fix things with his
still-married high school girlfriend and retired Hollywood stuntman
father. Quinn knows he doesn't owe his hometown a damn thing, but he
can't resist the pull of becoming a lawman again and accepts a badge
from his former colleague, foul-mouthed acting Sheriff Lillie Virgil.
Both officers have fought corruption in Tibbehah County before, but the
case they must confront now is nothing like they've ever seen...
When a former high school cheerleader is found walking a back road
completely engulfed in flames, everyone in Jericho wants answers for the
senseless act of violence. As Quinn and Lillie uncover old secrets and
new lies, the entire town turns against them, and they soon learn that
the most dangerous enemies may be the ones you trust most.
