  🎷 In the sultry shadows of 1918 New Orleans, death has a rhythm all its own. 
  When a string of brutal, axe-wielding murders shatters the city’s uneasy peace, Detective Louis Beaulieu is thrust into a chilling hunt for a phantom whose only calling cards are shattered skulls and bloodstained jazz notes. As fear grips the streets, the elusive Axeman sends a nightmarish ultimatum to the public: play jazz through the night—or face the blade. 
  With each new body, the line between madness and music blurs. Beneath the surface of this city steeped in secrets, something darker is composing a symphony of terror. Beaulieu must navigate a twisted maze of smoke-filled clubs, cryptic messages, and haunted minds—where every clue is a note in a macabre composition, and silence could be the prelude to death. 
  As the killer’s melody crescendos, Beaulieu faces a truth more sinister than he ever imagined—one that threatens to consume him and the soul of New Orleans itself. 
  The Axeman of New Orleans is a heart-pounding historical thriller where jazz and horror intertwine. Prepare to leave the lights on—and the music playing. 🔊 
  Some symphonies should never be heard...🎶

There are plenty of distractions — bright lights and beautiful girls — but Clark better find the murderers fast. Because the next head that rolls could be his own.
