"[An] irresistible sequel to Smith's New Orleans Noir... Anyone who knows New Orleans even slightly will relish revisiting the city in story after story. For anyone who has never been to New Orleans, this is a great introduction to its neighborhoods and history."
Publishers Weekly, Starred review
"Ten years after the publication of the original New Orleans Noir, Akashic's 'Noir' series returns with a follow-up... Each entry is strong, but the collection is worth reading alone for Poppy Z. Brite's 'Mussolini and the Axeman's Jazz,' a delirious and brutal ghost story... Strongly recommended for fans of the Akashic anthologies and Hard Case Crime mysteries and lovers of New Orleans fiction. D
