Rent Tishomingo Blues

Synopsis

At Mississippi's Tishomingo Lodge & Casino, performing high-diver Dennis Lenahan witnesses a mob murder. Meanwhile, Dennis's friend, Detroit con man Robert Johnson, seems to have an elaborate scheme up his sleeve--a scheme that involves Dennis, the mob, and an upcoming Civil War battle reenactment that promises to throw the Lodge into a tizzy. Leonard performs his own high-diving act as he knits various plot threads together in his inimitable hard-boiled, hard-driving style. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.
