Order of Ace Atkins Books
Ace Atkins is a celebrated American crime fiction writer who transitioned from journalism to become one of today's most compelling mystery authors. His background as a crime reporter for The Tampa Tribune—where his work earned him a Pulitzer Prize nomination—brings authentic grit and insight to his novels.
Atkins made his literary debut in 1998 with Crossroad Blues and committed to writing full-time at just 30 years old. He has since built an impressive portfolio, creating the popular Nick Travers and Quinn Colson series. In a testament to his skill, Atkins was selected to continue the beloved Spenser series following the passing of legendary author Robert B. Parker.
Currently residing on a farm in Oxford, Mississippi with his family, Atkins continues to craft the kind of crime fiction that keeps readers turning pages late into the night.
