Biloxi Strip - James Dargan

BILOXI STRIP

The Dixie Mafia: Blood, Profit, and Silence on the Gulf Coast - Book I

Biloxi, 1977. Neon glows over the Gulf like a promise it never keeps.
Beneath it, the hustlers, thieves, gamblers, arsonists, and crooks of the Strip tear each other apart for scraps-until one violent season forces them into something far more dangerous.

Joe Wexler, a restless wheelman with more talent than luck, teams up with legendary burglar Ford Smith for a series of high-stakes jobs that pull them deep into a hidden criminal network. Charles Roddington, a smooth-talking gambler, owes money to the wrong sharks. Jack Jones, club owner of Pussy Galore, realizes someone wants to burn his world to the ground. Deputy Lester Covington slides from crooked cop to full-blown enforcer. And in the shadows, cold-eyed Russ Buford drifts into town-the kind of man who ends stories, not starts them.

At the center of it all is Bertrand Hume, a silent financier whose money touches every vice on the coast. He offers these scattered criminals one choice:
Join the new order-or be erased from it.

As fires spread, debts tighten, and bodies vanish into the bay, the men and women of the Strip discover they're no longer surviving the chaos-they're building it.

Perfect for fans of Don Winslow, Dennis Lehane, Elmore Leonard, and Southern noir with grit, heat, and blood in every page.
