“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, and the challenge a Mississippi police chief faces as he seeks to 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

John Grisham meets Richard Wright:  During Gideon's road trip 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 saga–a tale of racial injustice and resistance–and 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.
