New Orleans, 1919. In a city of shadows, the music is your only prayer. The air is thick with danger and the defiant sound of Jazz. A terrifying serial killer, known only as the Axeman, haunts the night. He leaves no clues-just blood, and a chilling ultimatum: Play jazz, or die.

The music is her shield, her business, and the constant, intoxicating rhythm that drowns out the trauma of her past. She refuses to be a victim, but the killer's shadow is growing closer. When the Axeman strikes just blocks from her club, Celeste's life collides with that of Detective Elias Virelli. A brooding, war-scarred Italian-American cop, Elias is obsessed with the case and instantly suspicious of the guarded woman who runs the city's loudest haven.

As bodies stack up and the city descends into panic, Celeste and Elias must work in the shadows to unmask the killer. But the Axeman isn't choosing victims at random. He's hunting a secret linked to an old score, a secret Celeste may be desperately trying to forget. In a city where silence is death and every note could be a lie, Celeste must decide who she fears more: the masked killer with an axe, or the detective who threatens to tear down all the walls she built to survive. Can they catch the killer before the Axeman discovers the one truth that connects them all? And in a world of fear, is love the most dangerous sound of all? Will be using actual historical notes
