CHASING THE DEVIL'S TAIL: A Mystery of Storyville, New Orleans
David Fulmer
Read by Dion Graham
Storyville is the infamous New Orleans red-light district. It's 1907, and someone is murdering working girls and
marking each killing with a black rose. Creole P.I. Valentin St. Cyr is hired to track down the killer and restore
business as usual to Storyville. Dion Graham is a masterful narrator. His clear, crisp voice shifts seamlessly from
the storyteller to the myriad characters who populate this fascinating story. From fancy man to prostitute, black
jazz musician to white political boss, priest to voodoo madam-each has his or her vocal identity, superbly matched
to the culture and times of the day. The story is energized by a compelling narration, which propels listeners into
this sordid slice of American history.
