Timeline
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.
The story became the core of his critically acclaimed novel, 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.
Ace Atkins (born June 28, 1970) is an American journalist and author.
He became a full-time novelist at the age of 30.
Born in 1970, Atkins is the son of NFL player Billy Atkins.
Atkins lettered for the Auburn University football team in 1992 and 1993.
Atkins was featured on the Sports Illustrated cover commemorating the Tigers' perfect 11-0 season of 1993.
The cover shows Atkins celebrating after sacking future Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel of the Florida Gators.
Atkins wore number 99 for the Tigers.
Atkins graduated from Auburn University in 1994.
Atkins worked as a crime reporter in the newsroom of The Tampa Tribune before he published his first novel, Crossroad Blues (1998).
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.
Atkins' novel Infamous (2010) is based on the 1933 Charles Urschel kidnapping and subsequent misadventures of the gangster couple George "Machine Gun" and Kathryn Kelly.
In 2011, Atkins was selected by the estate of Robert B. Parker to take over writing the Spenser series of novels.
The Boston Globe wrote that while some people might have "viewed the move as unseemly, those people didn't know Robert B. Parker, a man who, when asked how his books would be viewed in 50 years, replied: 'Don't know, don't care.' He was proud of his work, but he mainly saw writing as a means of providing a comfortable life for his family."
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.
