"They have never caught me and they never will . . . I have been, am, and will be the worst spirit that ever existed either in fact or the realm of fancy." - The Axman
A masterfully crafted, deeply researched, and gripping tale of suspense and horror, The Devil's Jazz brings the colorful and sordid characters of the Big Easy to life.
In the sultry heart of New Orleans, a city haunted by the legacy of Jack the Ripper's reign of terror in London, a new menace emerges. The year is 1918, and the Axman of New Orleans prowls the cobblestone streets, targeting the city's large population of Sicilian immigrants.
Retired detective Giancarlo Rabito is reluctantly drawn into the shadows, entangled in the pursuit of the Axman, challenging the wide-spread belief that the Mafia is responsible. Hysteria grips New Orleans with each gruesome crime as the axe swings across the city, with no leads and hazy recollections from surviving victims.
His reputation more devil than man, The Axman mocks the citizens of New Orleans through a chilling letter to the newspaper, actually claiming to be a hellish demon. His ominous taunt: he will spare those who revel in the devil's music, jazz, during his chosen night of killing.
New Orleans residents play jazz all night long, the rhythmic pulse of a city held captive by fear.
Venture deep into the soul of New Orleans where secrets thicken the humid air, and mingle with the spirits, in this thrilling can't-miss homage to one of the most vibrant and culturally rich American cities.
