The Fallen

Praise for The Fallen

“Beneath the down-home Southern trappings, fans will find Atkins’ customary mixture of political corruption, true-blue policing, intimate betrayals, and wholesale violence….[P]uts a whole new spin on catharsis.”—Kirkus Reviews

“As in recent books, Atkins lightens the mood with some humor, presenting a warts-and-all portrayal of a Southern community.”—Publishers Weekly

“Action-packed and engrossing…a superb novel about corruption, politics, crime, dirty deals, and people trying to lead honest lives. Atkins delivers stronger tales with each outing.”—Associated Press

“The Fallen stands as an example of crime fiction’s ability to reflect society while completely entertaining the reader….It is Michael Mann’s Heat filtered though both Faulkner and Smokey & The Bandit, with Atkins fully engaged in every trope he loves as well as the time he is writing in.”—MysteryPeople.com
