Another thriller in the sheriff Colson series

THE sense of justice and righteousness that Sheriff Quinn Colson has brought to his tenure in Mississippi’s Tibbehah County is drawing to a close in Ace Atkins’ gripping new novel, “The Redeemers.” But the fifth installment in this series is more than a look at Quinn’s last days as sheriff, having lost the election to a nice, but incompetent man who was the town criminal’s candidate of choice. “The Redeemers” also explores Quinn’s unwavering moral code, his sense of the law, even his own failings and fragility. A strong work ethic also weaves through the novel as Quinn believes in a job well done, even in his twilight days as sheriff.

As Quinn packs up his office, he also is focused on family issues. His sister, Caddy, is back on drugs, still reeling from the murder of her fiance, and their father, Jason, who left decades ago, has returned.
