along the lines of Devil in the White city, in that they use the serial killer to draw an audience, then spend the majority of the time relating new orleans political history and the history of Jazz. Still a good read, just don't go into it just for the axman

Many cities have a seedy past. Few celebrate it the way New Orleans has/does or have failed to outgrow it as much as New Orleans.
