Reviews

""With his boisterous and beguiling new novel Don't Let the Devil Ride, Ace Atkins confirms his status as the poet laureate of Southern hustlers and ne'er do wells. 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 ""Don't Let the Devil Ride rumbles and rocks like the bottom beat in a Memphis blues tune played by a master. Ace Atkins has crafted an instant Southern noir classic that embodies the best aspects of the genre. Larger than life characters, wry humor, deep pathos and storytelling that embrace both the sacred and the profane."" -- S.A. Cosby, New York Times bestselling author of All the Sinners Bleed ""Anyone who has read Ace Atkins knows he's diabolically talented, but his latest goes beyond crackling wit and whip-smart storytelling. Don't Let the Devil Ride combines meaty questions about the lies we build to protect ourselves--and what happens when those lies collapse--with a masterfully crafted plot and seductive Southern setting to create a novel that sings."" -- Don Winslow, #1 Internationally bestselling author ""Don't Let the Devil Ride is great work by Ace Atkins. It's clever, intricate and moves with unstoppable momentum and twists to the very last page."" -- Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Desert Stars ""(Atkins) is into something different with Don't Let the Devil Ride. It reminds me most--and this is high praise--of Elmore Leonard's books, with its colorful cast of characters, sharp observations, bursts of violence and whipcrack banter."" -- Colette Bancroft, The Associated Press ""Ace Atkins is the Southern noir king. I've been reading him since his debut, and I am consistently wowed by the layers and depth of his characters, the crackling authenticity of his dialogue, and the elegance of his prose. Edgy, richly atmospheric, and often darkly funny, Don't Let the Devil Ride is the work of a master storyteller at the top of his game. A must-read!"" -- Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of The New Couple in 5B ""International intrigue and classic P.I. sleuthing combine in this deliciously complex thriller from bestseller Atkins.... Atkins has loads of fun marrying his hardboiled sensibility to the gonzo espionage plot, and relies on his strengths as a storyteller to keep the whole thing from running off the rails. This should win Atkins oodles of new fans."" -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Don't Let the Devil Ride ""Another outstanding, gripping, and atmospheric thriller that packs a mean punch. Ace Atkins delivers a rollercoaster of suspense, blending Southern charm with a global conspiracy in Don't Let The Devil Ride, his biggest, most daring novel to date."" -- Real Book Spy
