Gianna's family was once attacked by a man with an axe while they slept. While all survived, they carry scars from that night. And as the 1918 flu pandemic begins, the man with the axe comes back to stalk the Italian residents of New Orleans again. This time, though, Gianna seems to have a mysterious mental connection with him. 

I enjoyed reading this one, and hearing about a series of murders I knew nothing about. The backdrop of the pandemic feels extra relevant after what we've been through lately. 

I got a free copy of this book from the publisher, and I am mentioned in the acknowledgements.
