Ace Atkins is back!

With a new Quinn Colson and a new Spenser book, too.

Ace Atkins is the author of eleven novels, including

Robert B. Parker’s WONDERLAND and THE BROKEN PLACES.

A former journalist who cut his teeth as a crime reporter in the newsroom of The

Tampa Tribune, he published his first novel, Crossroad Blues, at 27 and became a fulltime

novelist at 30. In 2011, he was selected by the Robert B. Parker estate to continue

the bestselling adventures of Boston’s iconic private eye, Spenser.

THE BROKEN PLACES, The Lost Ones and The Ranger represent a return to Ace’s first love: hero driven

series fiction. Quinn Colson is a real hero—a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan—

who returns home to north Mississippi to fight corruption on his home turf.

Ace lives on a historic farm outside Oxford, Mississippi with his family. Lately,

he’s also been spending a lot of time in Boston,

much of it at the corner of Berkeley and Boylston.
