Tishomingo blues : a novel / Elmore Leonard.

Summary:

Here's the story of Dennis Lenahan, a world-class high-diving champ now working his act at carnivals and amusement parks. When he approaches Billy Darwin, a Mississippi casino mogul, and proposes to perform his dives from 80 feet above Darwin's hotel, he enters a world of hipster criminals and amiable con men. Dennis's new assistant, who helps set up the rigging, is barely around for a day before two members of the Dixie Mafia come along and put five in the back of his head while Dennis is at the top of the platform. Although he knows enough to keep his mouth shut, Dennis is quickly drawn into a world where the South still battles the North and every grinning face disguises a secret agenda.
