DON'T LET THE DEVIL RIDE by Ace Atkins

In 2010 Memphis, Tennessee, with her husband Dean out of touch a week and counting, Addison McKellar decides to visit his construction office. She not only finds the office vacant, but also no one in the building has heard of Dean's business. When several others downplay or dismiss her concern, her father recommends legendary P.I. Porter Hayes. Together Addison and Porter begin retracing Dean's whereabouts across the globe. As you might expect, they're not the only ones in pursuit.

Following Atkins' Quinn Colson series and additions to Robert B. Parker's Spenser, Don't Let the Devil Ride is a suspense thriller that alternates varied viewpoints and shows the author's facility getting into character. I also appreciate that, free of series obligations, the novel shows how Addison and others change from beginning to end as a result of their dealings with Dean.

Thanks again to Jessica Cozzi at William Morrow for the NetGalley. Don't Let the Devil Ride will be published June 25.

Also of interest, Michael Boatman (China Beach, Spin City) narrates the audiobook.
