Crime and spectacle in the Deep South
Tishomingo Blues brings together an unusual crime-fiction mix: gamblers, mob figures, high divers, murder, and Civil War reenactments in a Deep South setting. The book’s premise places public spectacle alongside criminal activity, using the reenactment world and its surrounding attractions as part of a noir-inflected mystery landscape. Its subject matter points to intersecting worlds of performance, gambling, violence, and historical pageantry, with dialogue identified in the source as a defining element of Leonard’s approach.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Adult crime-thriller readers
- Fans of noir-leaning mysteries
- Readers interested in stories involving Civil War reenactments and gambling

"Leonard delivers a certifiable masterpiece of such twisted ingenuity that he transcends even his own bad self....Tishomingo Blues is that good."
--Baltimore Sun
Crime fiction Grand Master Elmore Leonard heads to the Deep South for a bracing dose of Tishomingo Blues--a wild, Leonard-esque ride featuring gamblers, mobsters, murderers, high divers, and Civil War re-enactors that the New York Times Book Review calls, "Leonard's best work since Get Shorty." Sparkling with trademark "Dutch" Leonard dialogue so sharp it could cut you, Tishomingo Blues is classic mystery, mayhem, and gritty noir fun from "the coolest, hottest thriller writer in America" (Chicago Tribune).
