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.
