Lost River

by David Fulmer

Overview

Autumn 1913. Valentin St. Cyr has been absent from his Storyville stomping grounds for some months, trying to make it in the straight detective world and make a go of it with his longtime love, Justine. But then a man is found dead in a district brothel. The madam immediately turns to the Creole detective for help. He resists, but when several more bodies turn up, Valentin can't help but come to the aid of the place—and the people—he tried to leave behind.

Just when he has the case wrapped around his finger, it turns out Valentin has been played. The police captain thinks he's meddling and may be guilty of murder. He's on the run, and Justine has turned her back on him, retaliating with a handsome young fellow in a very sporty car. But is she being lured into a trap too?

Taking us back to his acclaimed and much-loved Storyville series, award-winning author David Fulmer marks a heart-pounding return to the streets of early-1900s New Orleans with Lost River.

Editorial Reviews

Fulmer's dialogue adds its lyric voice to the gutbucket sounds and ragtime rhythms pouring out of the bars and up from the streets.
