Eclipse Alley

The latest title in the award winning and critically acclaimed Valentin St. Cyr Mystery series. In the darkness of a May night in 1916, two "sporting girls" walking home through New Orleans' Storyville district come upon a body that's been hideously ravaged. And so begins Eclipse Alley, the sixth mystery in the acclaimed Valentin St. Cyr series by David Fulmer. Valentin, the Creole detective who has spent the previous ten years working the scarlet streets, is drawn into a maze of lies, corruption, and madness, as dark a labyrinth as he navigated in the previous five award-winning and critically-acclaimed mysteries. "The sense of place is so palpable you can almost hear the music. Fulmer's writing is crisp and nuanced. Valentin is a hero for whom it's easy to cheer."

-- The Detroit Free Press "St. Cyr is a great character, and the fascinating city and its larger-than-life denizens intrigue."
