He has also written standalone novels such as "The Forsaken" and historical crime stories like "The Black Echo," demonstrating versatility across crime fiction subgenres while maintaining authentic detail and taut pacing. His novels frequently address themes of redemption and resilience, contributing to his reputation in the mystery and thriller genres.
Atkins continues to produce Quinn Colson and Spenser installments, maintaining a presence in American crime fiction. He participates in public discussions on writing craft, including appearances at literary festivals and interviews focused on developing resilient protagonists and overcoming creative challenges. Atkins engages audiences with insights into crime fiction, character development, and the complexities of justice.
