'If Raymond Chandler came from the South, his name would be Ace Atkins' - Kinky Freidman; 'You can really hear the music everybody talks about so reverentially' New York Times; 'Atkins's research into blues history adds depth and context to the always-entertaining story, which whizzes by like an old, familiar song hear on the car radio late at night' Chicago Tribune
Ace Atkins is only twenty-nine. His day job is crime reporter for the Tampa Tribune. He has just completed the second Nick Travers mystery, Leavin' Trunk Blues which Robinson will publish later on in the year.
