American journalist and author
Ace Atkins
Ace Atkins (2013; age 43).
Born (1970-06-28 ) June 28, 1970 (age 53 ) Occupation Novelist Language English Nationality American Alma mater Auburn University Genre Crime fiction, mystery
Ace Atkins (born June 28, 1970)[1] full-time novelist at the age of 30.[citation needed
Biography [ edit ]
Born in 1970, Atkins is the son of NFL player Billy Atkins .[2] [3]
Atkins lettered for the Auburn University football team in 1992 and 1993.[4]
Atkins was featured on the Sports Illustrated Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel of the Florida Gators . Atkins wore number 99 for the Tigers.[citation needed
Atkins graduated from Auburn University in 1994.[4]
Atkins worked[when? as a crime reporter in the newsroom of The Tampa Tribune Crossroad Blues (1998).[citation needed While at the Tribune , Atkins earned a Pulitzer Prize nomination for a feature series based on his investigation into a forgotten murder of the 1950s.[5] White Shadow , which was commented on positively by noted authors and critics . In his next novels, Wicked City and Devil's Garden , Atkins continued this kind of story-telling, a style that was compared to that of Dennis Lehane and George Pelecanos .[5]
White Shadow (2006), Wicked City (2008), and Devil's Garden (2009) are personal books for Atkins, all set in his former homes: San Francisco , where he lived as a child; Alabama , his family's home and where he was born and went to college; and Tampa , where he embarked on his career as a writer. Each novel contains bits of himself – friends and colleagues he once knew, people he respected or admired, family members, and personal heroes.
In Devil's Garden , Atkins explores the early life of one of those heroes: Dashiell Hammett , the originator of the hard-boiled crime novel . As a Pinkerton Agency detective, Hammett investigated the rape and manslaughter case against early Hollywood star Roscoe Arbuckle , one of the most sensational trials of the 20th Century.[5] Infamous (2010) is based on the 1933 Charles Urschel kidnapping and subsequent misadventures of the gangster couple George "Machine Gun" and Kathryn Kelly.[citation needed
In 2011, Atkins was selected by the estate of Robert B. Parker to take over writing the Spenser series of novels.[6] The Boston Globe [7]
Personal life [ edit ]
In a 2023 interview for CrimeReads ,
Atkins said he’s been living for the past twenty years on a historic farm outside Oxford, Mississippi with his family.[4] [8]
