Paperback 2009, 710 pages.
The setting of the story is Natchez, Mississippi. The mayor’s boyhood friend comes to him with disturbing information about dog-fighting activities going on as part of a local casino’s illegal operations; his friend ends up dead. The story is about how the mayor finds other people to help him take down the ruthless people behind such activities. The story ends with a fight on the casino (a riverboat) and one of the villains being eaten up by alligators. Some of the scenes are quite graphic and difficult to get through.
It is a rather good book, but does it have to be so long? It’s not quite “War and Peace”, after all.
