Summary:
"A vibrant and immersive account of
New
Orleans
' other civil war, at a time when commercialized vice,
jazz
culture, and endemic crime defined the battlegrounds of the Crescent City. The remarkable
story
of
New
Orleans
' thirty-years war against itself, pitting the city's elite 'better half' against its powerful and long-entrenched underworld of vice, perversity, and crime. This early-20th-century
battle
centers on one man: Tom Anderson, the undisputed czar of the city's Storyville vice district, who fights desperately to keep his
empire
intact as it faces onslaughts from all sides. Surrounding him are the stories of flamboyant prostitutes, crusading moral reformers, dissolute jazzmen, ruthless Mafiosi, venal politicians, and one extremely violent serial killer, all battling for primacy in a wild and wicked city unlike any other in the world."--Publisher.
