About the Book
From the author of the Florida noir classic White Shadow, former Tampa Tribune reporter Ace Atkins draws from the worlds of pulp and Faulkner in Wicked City, using characters from the town’s true history to tell a story of the best and worst of morality, and the ambiguity in between. In 1955, Look magazine called Phenix City, Alabama, "The Wickedest City in America," a stew of organized crime and corruption, run by a machine that dealt with complaints forcefully and with dispatch. A small group of men meet and decide that they have had enough, but where it will take them is something they could not have foreseen.
