Ian Richard has a working relationship with Israeli intelligence agency. They alternate mission one time the agency needs him (The Angel of Justice) tells us what happened during his first mission. This time around Ian is in the driver seat and needs the Mossad’s support in paying retribution to a group of men who escaped justice for their part in a murder and lynching of black Mississippi residents in 1964 when the KKK were at their strongest. Each of the murderers is studied for vulnerability before taken action. “Deep South” brings us in a journey beneath the clichés of the south visiting places where the legacy of segregation can be felt.
This is my second book by Michael, as in his first, “Deep South” is a highly imaginative blend of fiction and historical facts. The story is richly written and well presented to give us a view of what happened to warrant the action taken against each individual. The course of action taken in some cases was very gruesome and will stay imprinted in my mind for some time. But I agree with Ian’s and the team’s action...no one deserved what was done to this segment of the population. The culprits needed to pay and they did.
The action is slow moving; each step is skillfully studied for impact and is nicely executed for our enjoyment. The narration is active and the exchange between players follows the same. In whole “Deep South” gives us a good story well said and well done.
