Description
A year after becoming sheriff, Quinn Colson is faced with the release of an infamous murderer from prison. Jamey Dixon comes back to Jericho preaching redemption, and some believe him; but for the victim's family, the only thought is revenge.
Another group who doesn't believe him - the men in prison from Dixon's last job, an armored car robbery. They're sure he's gone back to grab the hidden money, so they do the only thing they can: break out and head straight to Jericho themselves.
Colson and his deputy, Lillie, know they've got their work cut out for them. But they don't count on one more unwelcome visitor: a tornado that causes havoc just as events come to a head. Communications are down, the roads are impassable - and the rule of law is just about to snap.
Advance Praise
‘Atkins is one of the finest crime and thriller writers working today, admired by none other than Elmore Leonard and Michael Connelly, and this, his ninth thriller, proves his talent... Superbly told, in whip-crack prose that echoes Leonard, you never want it to end.’ Daily Mail
‘This exciting thriller leaves you looking forward to the ranger’s return.’ Sunday Telegraph
‘With terrific, inflected characters, and a dark, subtle sense of place and history, The Ranger is an exceptional novel.’ John Sandford
‘I have always been impressed with (and jealous of) how easy Ace Atkins makes it look. I hope Quinn Colson and Lillie Virgil stick around for a good long time.’ Michael Connolly
‘Keep an eye on Ace Atkins, he can run rings around most of the names in the crime field.’ Elmore Leonard
‘A big, poetic, and muscular novel…sleek and tough.’ George Pelecanos
