Storyville, New Orleans, 1907. Storyville, New Orleans. Along these scarlet
streets, two thousand "sporting women" service gentlemen and rounders in
grand mansions and filthy dime-a-trick cribs. The rye whiskey flows like a brown
river and morphine and cocaine are sold over the counter. Meanwhile, the first
crazy notes of the music they call jass are blasting out of the saloons and dance
halls.

Someone is murdering Storyville prostitutes and marking each killing with a black rose. As Creole detective Valentin St. Cyr begins to unravel the murder against this extraordinary backdrop, he encounters a cast of characters drawn from history: Tom Anderson, the political boss who runs Storyville like a private kingdom; Lulu White, the district's most notorious madam; a young piano player who would come to be known as Jelly Roll Morton; and finally, Buddy Bolden, the man who all but invented jazz and is now losing his mind. No ordinary mystery, Chasing the Devil's Tail is a chilling portrait of musical genius and self-destruction, set at the very moment when jazz was born. --Source: Publisher ; DAVID FULMER's first novel, Chasing the Devil's Tail, was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Mystery/Thriller Book Prize and the winner of the Shamus Award for Best First P.I.
