"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

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.

Vincent LoCoco's "The Devil's Jazz" weaves a tale of suspense and terror, embedded in the rhythmic pulse of a city held captive by fear.

Retired detective Giancarlo Rabito is reluctantly drawn into the shadows, entangled in the relentless pursuit of the Axman, challenging the wide-spread belief that the Mafia is responsible. Panic and hysteria grip New Orleans with each gruesome crime.

Follow the tenacious young reporter Michael Devlin in his quest to unveil the Axman's identity. The killer mocks the city through a chilling letter to the newspaper, claiming to be a demon from hell. His ominous ultimatum: spare those who revel in the devil's music, jazz, during his designated night of killing.

Venture deep into the soul of New Orleans, where jazz and fear intertwine, and secrets thicken the humid air. A surprising twist awaits, unravelling the Axman's ultimate fate, keeping readers on the edge of their seats until the final, heart-pounding pages.

Vincent "Chip" LoCoco, a New Orleans writer with a penchant for Italian historical fiction, invites you to join this suspenseful journey through the alleys of the French Quarter. Will you heed the call of the devil's jazz and confront the terror lurking within the shadows?

The Devil's Jazz: The Haunted Chronicles of the Axman of New Orleans is a not to be missed thriller, crime story, and a heart stopping historical fiction novel.
