Description
When professional diver Dennis Lenahan witnesses a murder in Mississippi, he is drawn into an uneasy alliance with Robert Taylor, a charismatic stranger pursuing a deeply personal agenda. Their paths lead through the tangled world of the Dixie Mafia, where drug money, manufactured housing, elaborate cons, and old racial violence converge beneath the surface of small-town life. As rival schemes tighten around them, the tension builds toward a volatile Civil War reenactment where history, performance, and present-day danger collide. With razor-sharp dialogue, dark humor, and vivid attention to the rhythms of men under pressure, the novel explores loyalty, ambition, vengeance, and the shifting line between reality and deception.
