A fascinating and colourful saga.
*The Independent*
Well-researched and well-written, a true-life tale of a sui generis
American city that reads like a historical thriller.
*Washington Post*
“[A] colourful tale of jazz, sex, crime, and corruption. I can
attest, as a native of New Orleans, that in Empire of Sin [Krist]
has captured the flavors and class nuances of the town. And his
interwoven storylines, intentional or not, evoke a piece of
jazz.”
*Walter Isaacson, New York Times Book Review*
