Reviews
Set in early 20th-century Storyville, the New Orleans red-light district, Shamus-winner Fulmer's moody follow-up to Chasing the Devil's Tail (2001) uses spare but evocative prose to create an atmosphere steeped in ragtime, bourbon and the institutional corruption for which the Big Easy is notorious. The author skillfully builds on the emotional aftermath of the first novel, providing his multiracial Creole detective, Valentin St. Cyr, with plenty of demons to wrestle while giving new readers the all-important backstory. St. Cyr must set aside his troubles in order to solve the mystery of four brutally murdered jazz musicians. His investigation pits him against both Lieutenant Picot, his former boss in the New Orleans police department, and his current employer, Tom Anderson, the "King of Storyville," while further jeopardizing his already shaky relationship with girlfriend Justine, a former prostitute (or, in the local vernacular, "sporting girl"). Jelly Roll Morton and legendary madam Miss Lulu also figure prominently in this meaty, dark page-turner, which should appeal particularly to fans of Caleb Carr's The Alienist. , PRAISE FOR JASS "Fulmer is in fine form. The city and culture he portrays are as rich and dark as its coffee. With language that can get as rough as his characters, he paints a realistic picture of one of this country's most famous underworlds--and the beginnings of its greatest indigenous art."-- The Boston Globe "[A] vivid portrait of a great city at one of its most exciting moments. Fulmer is a graceful, evocative writer, and if you love New Orleans and its music, his novel summons up sweet memories."-- The Washington Post Book World, PRAISE FOR CHASING THE DEVIL'S TAIL "If Fulmer . . . has plans for future stories about St. Cyr and his real and imaginary Fourth Ward cronies, they'd be more than welcome here." -Los Angeles Times (Mystery/Thriller Book Prize Finalist), Fulmer's second Storyville mystery, starring Creole detective Valentin St. Cyr, more than lives up to the promise of its predecessor, Chasing the Devil's Tail (2001). Again vividly evoking the early days of jazz in turn-of-the-century New Orleans, Fulmer puts St. Cyr on the tail of a femme fatale whose ghostlike appearances seem linked to the serial killings of the members of a Storyville jazz band. As the earlier volume featured legendary cornetist Buddy Bolden in a key role, this volume draws pianist Jelly Roll Morton into the plot, which follows St. Cyr as he defies both cops and politicos to expose not only the killer but also the high-level cover-up behind the crime. Unlike so many historical mystery authors, Fulmer avoids seeding his story with artificially placed period props; rather, the palpable ambience develops naturally out of the very real interaction between character and place. Pair this series with Bill Moody's Evan Horne novels, which feature real-life mysteries concerning modern jazzmen, and you've compressed a large chunk of jazz history into a handful of crime novels.

Synopsis
In the rowdy red-light district of Storyville, four players of the new music they call "jass" have turned up dead. When Creole detective Valentin St. Cyr begins to investigate, he discovers that every one of the victims once played in the same band, and the only one left alive has gone into hiding. As he digs deeper, Valentin becomes convinced that a shadowy woman is the key to the mystery. His efforts to find her touch nerves, and soon Tom Anderson, known as the "King of Storyville," police lieutenant J. Picot, and even the mayor of New Orleans want him off the case. It's all the proof Valentin needs that there is something even larger and darker at the heart of this sordid business. A riveting follow-up to the award-winning Valentin St. Cyr mystery Chasing the Devil's Tail, Jass journeys further into the bloody and seedy netherworld that is Storyville, New Orleans.
