Inspired by a true story, set against the heady backdrop of jazz-filled, mob-ruled New Orleans, The Axeman's Jazz by Ray Celestin is a gripping thriller that announces a major talent in historical crime fiction. Winner of the CWA New Blood Dagger for Best Debut Crime Novel of the Year, Recommended on the Radio 2 Arts Show with Claudia Winkleman, and Shortlisted for Theakston's Crime Novel of the Year Award, New Orleans, 1919. As a dark serial killer, the Axeman, stalks the city, three individuals set out to unmask him: Detective Lieutenant Michael Talbot, heading up the official investigation, but struggling to find leads and harboring a grave secret of his own. Former detective Luca dAndrea, now working for the mafia, his need to solve the mystery of the Axeman is every bit as urgent as that of the authorities. And Ida, a secretary at the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Obsessed with Sherlock Holmes and dreaming of a better life, she stumbles across a clue that lures her and her musician friend, Louis Armstrong, into the case—and into terrible danger. As Michael, Luca, and Ida each draw closer to discovering the killer's identity, the Axeman himself will issue a challenge to the people of New Orleans: play jazz, or risk becoming the next victim. A fascinating portrait of a vibrant and volatile city and a riveting read—Guardian. The Axeman's Jazz is the first book in Ray Celestin's prize-winning City Blues quartet. It is followed by the second installment, Dead Man's Blues.
