Madame Delphine LaLaurie was a well-known socialite of New Orleans in the early 1800's. Wealthy, charming, a wife and mother, hostess of lavish dinner parties.

A shocking secret of violence, torture, neglect, and murder. The citizens of New Orleans were horrified and turned feral with rage at what they had learned. The site of the LaLaurie mansion has changed a lot in the past 200 years, but the stain of darkness that Madame Delphine LaLaurie left on the city of New Orleans has remained.
