In Mississippi, a Black man named Henry Logan is arrested for being out after dark in the fictional sundown town of Greenville, MS. What follows is not a single act of violence or hatred — it is something more difficult to name, and far harder to escape.

Nuremberg, Mississippi is a work of literary fiction set in the mid-twentieth-century American South, tracing the procedural machinery through which legal systems deliver harm without ever announcing themselves as harmful. Logan's encounter with Myrtle County's courts unfolds across fractional chapters — increments of bureaucratic time that mirror the experience of living inside a system designed to exhaust, confuse, and defeat.

The novel draws its title from a precise historical argument: that the architects of the Nuremberg Laws studied American Jim Crow statutes as a model for codified racial hierarchy. German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer observed that moral failure most often disguises itself as discipline, professionalism, and obedience. Nuremberg, Mississippi asks what that observation looks like when applied not to Nazi Germany, but to an American courthouse on an ordinary afternoon.

Written with the procedural authority of a legal document and the moral weight of witness testimony, this debut novel belongs to the tradition of Colson Whitehead's The Nickel Boys and Richard Wright's Native Son — books that refuse to let legality stand in for justice.

"Perfectly captures the experience of growing up in Jim Crow Mississippi, where Nazi evils shocked us from afar while our own racial evils were so woven into our day-to-day existence that we hardly noticed."— Dr. Alan E. Godwin, Author of Ties That Blind

"Fast pacing, palpable tension, hard-hitting dialogue, and an evocative setting make Nuremberg, Mississippi a must-read."— Clark Moore, Writer/Editor
