Certain people in new Orleans are being killed with an axe, and there are three seperate investigations - The Police one, An ex-cop on early release from prison but working for the Mafia, and a young girl working for Pinkertons who wants to be a detective. She has as a companion a young trumpeter called Lewis Armstrong. They all are getting to the perpetrators and the masterminds behind him from different directions. I was sorry to see Luca die, especially as he was developing a relationship with Simone, the killers sister. It was a good story, well written and stuck to the facts behind it. A map of New Orleans would have been useful.
Chris had drawn a poster showing the three different investigations and what they learned.
A good discussion.
