And let me tell you, I've been missing out on a literary treat. "White Shadow" is a brilliantly written: humid, moody, mysterious - classic crime noir that perfectly captures the Golden Age of this genre in which it is set. Yes, it's a bit long, detailed, and complex, but it captures in words the mood and spirit of the era as well as Bogart and Bacall could do it in a grainy back-and-white film.The scene is Tampa, 1955, the setting the true story of Charlie Wall, a local legend of organized crime during prohibition, brutally murdered in his Tampa home in a crime that was never solved. Adkins tells the story through LB Turner, a young and tenacious reporter for the struggling Tampa Times. "It's all cigar smoke and light and shadows and ticking Hamilton watches and the smell of the salty bay blowing over forgotten crime scenes" in this gem of a novel - the meticulous research beaten only by a gritty cast of loners and losers, of mobsters, murderers and movers-and-shakers. From the cigar factories of Tampa's Ybor City to Havana's pre-Castro Cuba's swanky clubs and lavish hotels - of Myron Lansky and George Raft - to the winter home of a traveling carnival, Adkins simply nails it: prose so steamy you can smell the blood and rum and sex. And plenty of it."White Shadow" is one of those rare novels that educates while it entertains. Who knew - or ever heard of - the goings on of mafia boss Santo Trafficante and the Tampa/Havana connection, or the early days of young lawyer Fidel Casto hanging in Florida's clubs and bars, the the gentleman mobster Charlie Wall himself, a local legend and harmless old man when he was so viciously dispatched. I've been a long time fan of the honey-smooth southern poetry-prose of James Lee Burke and Tom Franklin - it is easy to put Ace Adkins in - and perhaps at the top of - this rarified air. In short, a fine example of original American writing telling an original American story - not to be missed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ White Shadow showcases a huge talent *by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 8, 2018* White Shadow is a great read. Ace Atkins is a crime writer straight out of the James Ellroy mould with this work, which looks at the death of a former bootlegger and organised crime in Florida when Batista was still ruling the roost in Cuba.I've read several works by Ace Atkins, who's also penned novels for the estate of Robert B Parker. Honestly, he does them well and has a wonderful ear for dialogue and his plots are well crafted, but White Shadow and his Quinn Colson series suggest that he should concentrate on his own stuff. I think he stands head and shoulders above most of the crime writers I've read recently. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Adventure Story *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 13, 2016* White Shadow is the third book offering from Ken Cable. He writes entertaining adventure stories. The first 2 books Lost and Track of the Hunter, were very entertaining, also very hard to put down once you starting reading them. They are easy reads, and I recommend them to adults and young readers alike. There are valuable lessons to be learned from all 3 books for young and adult people about courage, respect for elders and animals, and to always remember to have hope. Never give up on what is the right thing to do, and always obey and respect the law. Exciting adventures in the mountains of the High Sierras. The author is a naturalist and has spent much of his life camping in the mountains of California and other areas of the world studying the habitat. Again, I highly recommend all 3 books to all of you who enjoy adventure tales about the wilderness, animals, and appreciate when hope and determination results in the right outcome. Happy Reading. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/8345888-white-shadow](https://www.desertcart.at/products/8345888-white-shadow) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
