About the book

For the first time in print, a new short story in the award-winning, bestselling Quinn Colson series.

Dontell Briggs was a quiet man, a respectable figure in Tibbehah County, Mississippi, working as a janitor at the local high school. But when bulldozers threaten his dilapidated house and family land - a calculated move to make him sell - he picks up a rifle to protect his property.

Sheriff Quinn Colson, a former U.S. Army Ranger turned Southern lawman, respects Briggs and recognizes the county's corrupt power structure he's facing. Skinner, a long hated and despised county supervisor in particular, wants to see Briggs arrested and taken off his own land.

Quinn has less than twenty-four hours to understand the tangled mystery that lies within the kudzu-covered Briggs property and to save Briggs from himself. He promises to kill anyone who steps foot on his land. That includes the sheriff.

An exciting return to Tibbehah County from the undisputed master of Southern Noir, Ace Atkins
