Atticus is a story about a father and his prodigal son. It is also an engaging murder mystery.

The writing was sincere and powerful. The description of the wild Mexican landscape and the people of Resurreccion were done to perfection. This was a novel where you could see and smell and feel what the characters were experiencing.

The love that Atticus feels for his son Scott, no matter how messed up, rotten and selfish Scott has been, is so sincere.
