Book description
Daredevil Dennis Lenahan has brought his act to the Tishomingo Lodge
& Casino in Tunica, Mississippi - diving off an eighty-foot ladder
into nine feet of water for the amusement of gamblers, gangsters, and
luscious belles. His riskiest feat, however, was witnessing a
Dixie-style mob execution while atop his diving platform. Robert Taylor
saw the hit also. A blues-loving Detroit hustler touring the Southland,
Taylor's got his own secret agenda and he wants Dennis in on the game.
And high-diver Dennis could be about to take a long, fatal fall - right
into a mess of hoop skirts, Civil War play-acting... and more trouble
than he ever dreamed possible. Elmore Leonard has written more than
three dozen books during his highly successful career, and many of his
novels have been made into bestselling films. He has been named Grand
Master by the Mystery Writers of America and lives in Bloomfield
Village, Michigan, with his wife Christine.
