Ace Atkins has done it again. Atkins is considered one of the top American writers of crime fiction and in “The Lost Ones”, the second book in his new series of “Quinn Colson” novels, he clearly demonstrates the reasons for this critical regard. This book follows on closely from “The Ranger”, the first book in the series, which was nominated for an Edgar award. The setting for both novels is rural Mississippi and in addition to the usual themes to be found in crime novels, examines the challenges faced by returning veterans as they reintegrate into civilian life… or not.
