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.
