Summary
As Creole detective Valentin St. Cyr begins to investigate, 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 Buddy Bolden, the man who all but invented jazz. No ordinary mystery, Chasing the Devil's Tail is a chilling portrait of musical genius and self-destruction, set at the moment when jazz was born.
Critic reviews
"A fine beginning to what looks like a first-rate historical series." ( Booklist)
"[Fulmer's] first fiction, which features a fascinating plot line and pervasive New Orleans atmosphere, is an outstanding historical." ( Library Journal)

A Rose in Bloom
Another enjoyable Dion Graham performance in this drama, where for jazz musician, rabble rouser and sport King Bolden, the line between genius and insanity is very fine indeed. The identity of the Black Rose is clever too.
