Based on a true story, ''The Axeman's Jazz'' is scriptwriter Ray Celestin's debut novel. It tells of a serial killer in New Orleans in 1919 - the Axeman - who torments the city and has everyone talking; it seems that everyone has their theories and yet no meaningful leads are presenting themselves, as the police and citizens of New Orleans begin to despair of ever catching the killer.

The book is published by the Mantle arm of Pan Macmillan, who also publish [[:Category:C J Sansom|C J Sansom]] - a master of historical crime writing, albeit in a rather different era - which lends further credibility to Celestin as a worthy addition to the historical crime genre.
