Dark End of the Street

In "Dark End," Ace Atkins follows former professional football player Nick Travers as he embarks on a seemingly simple task: driving up Highway 61 from New Orleans to Memphis to find his friend's missing brother, Clyde James, a once-prominent soul singer. As Travers navigates the hidden corners of New Orleans, the gritty roads of Mississippi, and the streets of Memphis, he confronts a web of danger involving the Dixie Mafia, a politically ambitious gubernatorial candidate, and a crazed killer with ties to Elvis Presley. This gripping tale not only explores the depths of personal loss but also exposes the darker sides of politics and culture in the South.
