VJ Books Presents Author Ace Atkins!
By the time he had turned 30, Ace Atkins had published two critically acclaimed crime novels, CROSSROAD BLUES and LEAVIN' TRUNK BLUES with St. Martin's Press. He is the New York Times Bestselling author of twenty-one novels, including THE FALLEN and ROBERT B. PARKER'S LITTLE WHITE LIES, both out from G.P. Putnam’s Sons in 2017.
Before turning to writing full time, Atkins worked as a crime reporter in the newsroom of The Tampa Tribune for several years. Here he earned a Pulitzer Prize nomination and Livingston Award nomination for his seven-part series about an unsolved murder of a Tampa socialite in 1956, "Tampa Confidential," which had the whole city buzzing for weeks.
The core of those stories provide the basis for his epic WHITE SHADOW. The novel is the culmination of more than five years of research that focused on sealed court and police records, countless interviews with players of that period, and even an extended research trip to Havana to complete the final leg of a story that started in 1955.
One of the best crime writers working today, Atkins has been nominated for every major award in crime fiction, including the Edgar three times, twice for novels about former U.S. Army Ranger Quinn Colson. A former newspaper reporter and SEC football player, Atkins also writes essays and investigative pieces for several national magazines including Outside and Garden & Gun.
In 2011, Atkins was selected by the Robert B. Parker estate to continue the bestselling adventures of Boston's iconic private eye, Spenser.
He lives in Oxford, Mississippi with his family.
