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 pres-sure 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.
