About this eBook

The siren call of Storyville...

New Orleans, 1914. No one cares much when a street whore is the victim of a bloody murder. Nor when a woman in a crib on the dirty back end of the red light district is found slain. But then a third ravaged body turns up in a house along one of the better streets, and an ailing Tom Anderson, the "King of Storyville," reaches out to Creole detective Valentin St. Cyr, who has left the scarlet streets behind. Against his own instincts and his wife Justine's wishes, Valentin heads back onto his old turf and into the investigation that propels The Iron Angel, the fifth novel in the award-winning series by David Fulmer.

"Fulmer is both a fine plotter and a marvelously evocative writer, with an eye for character." - The Washington Post

Ratings and reviews

I have loved every book in this series featuring Valentin StCyr, and this one was no exception. You feel as though you've been transported to the New Orleans of Storyville days. I liked that there were actually three mysteries at play, and that his wife, Justine, took an active role in one of the investigations. I hope Mr. Fulmer writes many more Valentin novels in the future.

This Storyville tale was all I expected and more. It felt like catching up with family at a reunion. Justine and St. Cry are married and happy. This was a true read. Waiting on the next installment.
