Title: Tishomingo Blues
Description: Dennis Lenahan is a daredevil and the girls love him. Things are going along okay with his gig at the Tishomingo Lodge & Casino in Tunica, Mississippi, "the Casino Capital of the South," until the day he looks down from the high-dive platform and witnesses a mob hit -- Dixie style. The killer looks up and says, "Let's see you dive." Suddenly, being a daredevil has lost its kick. Leonard calls Tishomingo Blues his best novel yet -- an opinion confirmed by rave reviews from coast to coast for this New York Times bestseller.
