520 2  "From bestselling author Gary Krist, 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.  
       Empire of Sin re-creates 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"--|cProvided by publisher.
