The axeman of New Orleans

From 1910 to 1919, New Orleans suffered at the hands of its very own Jack the Ripper?style killer. The story has been the subject of websites, short stories, novels, a graphic novel, and most recently the FX television series American Horror Story. But the full story of gruesome murders, sympathetic victims, accused innocents, public panic, the New Orleans Mafia, and a mysterious killer has never been written. Until now.
