“A powerful novel ... affecting and highly readable  as it commingles fact and invention in artful ways.  . . . puts me in mind of James Ellroy’s Los Angeles novels . . .”
                                      –Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

This “riveting” thriller (Kirkus Reviews) recounts the confrontations that beset Gideon along his journey for vigilante justice. Can a Mississippi police chief intercept a would-be assassin  without knowing his name, age, race, appearance or even the sound of his voice? 

“Gripping, wonderful story-telling. ... Family saga, freedom song and cry for justice come together in Mississippi Reckoning, as a despairing man seeks vengeance for wrongs beyond his power to right.” –Diane Nash, Freedom Rider and Civil Rights Leader

“Mississippi Reckoning's road trip is a suspense-filled journey well worth following to its ending.”            
         –The Champion

John Grisham meets Richard Wright:  During Gideon's drive to Mississippi, flashbacks reveal the personal histories that set Gideon on his path of vengeance:

• Gideon’s days as a young civil rights worker, and his journey from idealistic youth to cynical Silicon Valley lawyer
• The killer’s family story–the horror of a childhood that turned a vulnerable child into a brutal killer
• The doomed struggle to overcome a legal system skewed toward death, and Gideon’s fraught relationship with his condemned African American client.

“Rooted in history . . . riveting” 
          –Pulitzer-Prize winning author Eric Foner
