Tishomingo Blues

When daredevil Dennis Lenahan brings his motorcycle high dive act to the Tishomingo Lodge & Casino in Tunica, Mississippi, he witnesses a mob hit while atop his diving platform and becomes mixed up with murder, mayhem, wild women, and a pack of southern-fried hoods.

Leonard delivers a certifiable masterpiece of such twisted ingenuity that he transcends even his own bad self....Tishomingo Blues is that good.

--Baltimore Sun

Crime fiction Grand Master Elmore Leonard heads to the Deep South for a bracing dose of Tishomingo Blues--a wild, Leonard-esque ride featuring gamblers, mobsters, murderers, high divers, and Civil War re-enactors that the New York Times Book Review calls, Leonard's best work since Get Shorty. Sparkling with trademark Dutch Leonard dialogue so sharp it could cut you, Tishomingo Blues is classic mystery, mayhem, and gritty noir fun from the coolest, hottest thriller writer in America (Chicago Tribune).
