In
Mississippi Blood, renowned Mississippi
author Hewitt Clarke untangles a web of violence
and deceit worthy of any big city crime beat --
anywhere. But that this intrigue unfolds
in a sleepy, eastern Mississippi town of
fewer than 40,000 souls, makes it even more
sensational.
Larry Tiffee, a
Meridian, Mississippi real estate developer and
country boy from rural Arkansas, is discovered
in a pool of his own blood at his posh home
overlooking the city early in 1983. Among
his other wounds the Coroner notes what appears
to be the signature of a professional hit man, a
precisely placed, coup-de-grace to Mr. Tiffee's
head. His
estranged wife, Gloria, apparently crushed at
the loss of her husband with whom, she
maintains, she was about to reconcile is
questioned and released. But
as the hapless killers flee, attempting to lay a
paper trail of gasoline purchases and credit
card receipts designed to lead authorities
astray, their plans run afoul of a task force of
police officers and investigators across four
states. The
seemingly well thought-out scheme begins to
crumble amid allegations of money laundering,
illicit drug transactions, and corruption.
Next enters the Dixie mafia, an outlaw biker
gang called the "Satans" and a 1,000 dollar a day body guard. So complex are the
pieces that the case might not have been solved
at all, dismissed as a simple burglary gone bad,
except for the efforts of a lone private
detective.
Mississippi Blood is a must read.
