fullDescription

"An instant Southern noir classic" –S.A. Cosby

S.A. Cosby meets Don Winslow in the breakout thriller from New York Times bestselling author Ace Atkins. A Memphis woman hires a PI to find her missing husband, only to discover that he is involved in a dangerous web of international intrigue—and she and her children are now at risk.

Hell is empty...and Addison McKellar's husband is missing.

Addison McKellar isn't clueless—she knows she and her husband Dean don't have the perfect marriage—but she's still shocked when he completely vanishes from her life. At first Addison is annoyed, but as days stretch into a week and she's repeatedly stonewalled by Dean's friends and associates, her frustration turns into genuine alarm. When even the police seem dismissive of her concerns, Addison turns to her father's old friend, legendary Memphis PI Porter Hayes.

Porter and Addison begin to dig deeper into Dean's affairs and quickly discover that he was never the hardworking business owner and family man he pretended to be. As they piece together the connections between a hook-handed mercenary, one of Elvis's former leading ladies, and a man posing as an FBI agent, it becomes clear that Dean was deeply enmeshed in a high-stakes web of international intrigue, and Porter and Addison aren't the only ones looking for him.

Dean angered some very dangerous people before he disappeared—people who have already killed to get what they want—and they won't hesitate to come after his family to even the score.

Don't Let the Devil Ride is a thrilling adventure about what can happen when you pull back the curtain on your life. Ace Atkins, long known for gritty Southern noir with a witty edge, has crafted an ambitious, globe-hopping story that comes home to Memphis in explosive fashion.

     What begins as another of Atkins' trademark regional crime tales blossoms into a story of international intrigue without ever abandoning its base. Addison McKellar's husband, Dean, has gone AWOL once before, returning home after five days with no explanation to speak of. So she doesn't get seriously alarmed till he's been gone a whole week. What tips the balance this time isn't the extra two days, but her visit to the Cotton Exchange Building: The news that McKellar Construction hasn't had an office there for at least two years sends Addison first to the Memphis police, who don't believe that Dean is missing, and then to Porter Hayes, "the Black Sherlock Holmes," who does. As the question of what Dean's up to morphs into the question of who Dean really is, Atkins skillfully draws in more players who seem summoned from different worlds. Joanna Grayson, who co-starred with Elvis Presley in a movie half a century ago, is still working the connection to attract fans of the King. Her client Leslie Grimes is the billionaire owner of a chain of Christian gift shops. One-armed Jack Dumas is an arms dealer whose partner, Peter Collinson, has vanished with a bulging wallet. Omar, a sketchy Turkish dealer, has been killed in a shopping mall's security warren. Then, shortly after he's reported dead, Dean McKellar returns to his hearth and home, and things become much, much worse. He won't answer Addison's simplest questions; he casts doubt on everything she says; he goes out of his way to embarrass her in front of their friends; and he ends up turning their children, along with virtually everyone else in her life, against her. Forget about the MacGuffin that knits these threads together and enjoy Atkins' biggest, boldest thrill ride yet.

     Starred review from April 29, 2024
     International intrigue and classic P.I. sleuthing combine in this deliciously complex thriller from bestseller Atkins (the Quinn Colson series). Addison McKellar has grown used to her husband Dean’s frequent work-related absences, but after several days pass without a word from him, she worries something bad has happened. Though Dean’s friends and associates at his Memphis construction firm assure Addison she’s overreacting, she follows her father’s advice and hires private investigator Porter Hayes. It doesn’t take long for the former cop and Vietnam vet to discover that Dean is not the man he claims to be, kick-starting a globe-trotting adventure involving a B-movie actress, Russian mobsters, and a suave French criminal, each of whom are after a mysterious cache of holy relics in transit from Turkey to Memphis. Atkins has loads of fun marrying his hardboiled sensibility to the gonzo espionage plot, and relies on his strengths as a storyteller to keep the whole thing from running off the rails. This should win Atkins oodles of new fans. Agent: Dan Conaway, Writers House.

     Addison McKeller, wife and mother, tries to contact her husband after he's gone off on a business trip. Here trouble starts, and reader heading into prolific and popular Atkins' latest thriller may suspect that he's remaking The Lady Vanishes. Failing to connect, Addison finds that her husband's business doesn't actually exist. When she researches his name, she discovers he's been dead for at least a decade. As the plot spins in widening gyres, reaching to Dubai, far beyond the boundaries of Memphis, Atkins brings in Gaultier, a polished, Bondish villain who puffs pricey cigars and wears ivory cufflinks shaped like human skulls; the scruffy American Atkins calls the One-Armed Man; and longtime Russian arms dealer Anatoliy Zub, ""who had so much blood on his hands, he was practically dripping."" Addison herself is in serious danger as the bad guys and plot threads multiply and tropes pile up, feeling a bit worn. But the story is redeemed by some intriguing Elvis connections and the intervention of a family friend, the highly respected and toughly pragmatic Black Memphis detective, Porter Hayes.
