Tishomingo Blues is a 2002 novel by Elmore Leonard, set in Mississippi, about two fledgling allies, the local Dixie Mafia, and a high-stakes Civil War re-enactment. It happens to be Leonard's favorite book of the books he has written. Plans to become a movie directed by Don Cheadle have been scrapped.
The title comes from the famous Spencer Williams song Tishomingo Blues.
