Synopsis

As the third Storyville mystery begins, Creole detective Valentin St. Cyr has just returned to New Orleans. Having only recently solved the case of the jass murders, he is drawn reluctantly into the investigation of a new murder—that of a well-to-do gentleman on seedy Rampart Street. When another wealthy society man turns up dead, the detective learns that the two victims were acquainted years ago. In a spider’s web of coincidence, the second murder has been witnessed—or has it?—by the man who’s now keeping Justine, Valentin’s old girlfriend, as his paramour. Valentin probes deeper even as the city’s most powerful leaders pres­sure him to drop the investigation. What could he be getting close to, and what nerves might he unwittingly strike?

David Fulmer has created a heart-pounding mystery in this, his soulful detective’s most dangerous case yet.

PRAISE FOR RAMPART STREET

"You can almost taste the gumbo. Fulmer's languid, conversational style perfectly matches the Crescent City setting with its complex web of murder, corruption and betrayal."--San Francisco Chronicle

"A blues-soaked pleasure."—The Christian Science Monitor
