The Axeman of New Orleans
The Axeman of New Orleans ›
By Miriam Davis

Cloth

Published Mar 2017

A chilling true story of murder, mystery, and injustice in early 20th-century New Orleans.

Between 1910 and 1919, a brutal serial killer terrorized New Orleans. Known as the Axeman, he stalked the city's Italian grocers, leaving a trail of gruesome murders and public panic in his wake. This is the true story of the Axeman's reign of terror, the innocent men accused, and the dark secrets that haunted the Crescent City.

Miriam C. Davis expertly weaves together a historical narrative of the Axeman's crimes, the social and cultural context of early 20th-century New Orleans, and the gripping account of the wrongly accused Iorlando Jordano and his son Frank. Uncover the truth behind the legend, the real identity of the killer, and the shocking aftermath that continued long after the Axeman left New Orleans. For fans of true crime, New Orleans history, and tales of unsolved mysteries.
