In this supernatural murder mystery that takes place in New Orleans, a nineteen-year-old woman wearing a bridal gown is strangled in Saint Louis Cemetery in the middle of the night. Around the same time, a man in the poor section of town is murdered and the killer writes a letter to the newspaper, claiming to be the infamous Axeman, a real-life character who is part of the city's spooky past. Are these cases related? Along with spicy doses of gumbo, voodoo, witchcraft, ghosts, and all that jazz, female homicide detective Yvonne Dauphin investigates.
