Mitchell Zimmerman 1 Report post Posted March 30 I am a veteran of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi), and a California attorney who, after a 22-year legal struggle, got a condemned black inmate off San Quentin's death row. My novel is about an attorney who did not. SNCC leader Mary King called the book "compelling," and federal judge and civil rights pioneer Thelton E. Henderson says it's “a heart-pounding, soul-wrenching narrative," " a story of the struggle for equal justice and civil rights.” Author: Mitchell Zimmerman Title: Mississippi Reckoning ISBN: 978-0-9600107-0-7 Publication Date: March 15, 2019 Available in paperback and ebooks on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and by ordering from bookstores. Synopsis: After watching his client die in the gas chamber, attorney Gideon Roth is shattered. His career, marriage and life collapse as he is overcome with guilt and despair. But soon he finds new purpose in life: he will drive to Mississippi to revisit the scenes of his youth—and to slay the Klavern members who got away with murdering civil rights workers 30 years earlier. During the road trip to Mississippi, flashbacks reveal the personal histories that set Gideon on his path of vengeance: Gideon’s days as a young civil rights worker, and his journey from idealistic youth to cynical lawyer The story of the murder of three young civil rights workers in 1964 The killer’s family saga of oppression and resistance, and the horrors of a childhood that turned a vulnerable child into a brutal killer The struggle to fend off a legal system skewed toward death.
