FROM A LAWYER WHO GOT HIS
REAL-LIFE CLIENT OFF DEATH ROW
COMES A NOVEL ABOUT
AN ATTORNEY WHO DID NOT

Mississippi Reckoning

A tortured man’s quest
to right the scales of justice

After witnessing his client’s death in the gas chamber, attorney Gideon Roth is shattered. His career, marriage and life collapse as he is overcome with guilt and despair. But soon Gideon finds new purpose:  he will drive to Mississippi to revisit the scenes of his youth—and to assassinate the Klavern members who got away with murdering civil rights freedom fighters 30 years earlier.

“Riveting.”  –Kirkus Reviews
“Will leave you reeling – and thinking.” 
–M*A*S*H star Mike Farrell
  
Can a Mississippi police chief intercept a would-be assassin without knowing his name, age, race, appearance or even the sound of his voice? Will Gideon be turned from his quest by his encounters, past and present, along the way?

How did the decades-spanning heritage of white supremacist violence shape a murderer?

Mississippi Reckoning
reveals the personal histories that set Gideon
on his path of vengeance
– and that brought his client to death row.

“Linking  the story of a condemned man
in present-day California with the story of
deep-southern horror from which that man emerged,
Mitchell Zimmerman has crafted
a heart-pounding, soul-wrenching narrative.”
–Federal Judge and civil rights pioneer Thelton Henderson
