It has been awhile since I read Chasing the
Devil's Tail so my specifics are hazy but I remember liking
it very much. Some readers have found the language stilted
but I breezed thru it just fine. The private investigator is
of mixed blood and can sometimes pass for white, which gives
it another level of interest. I took the description of the
brothels to be accurate and I have read a lot of
(non-fiction) books about brothels, living as I do in a town
that hosts two of them. This is the first book in a series
that now has at least three. I really enjoyed the New Orleans
history.

Another was Chasing the Devil's Tail by a fellow
named
Fulmer. I read a couple chapters of it and it seemed
good. It's about a series of killings of prostitutes
in the New Orleans red light district about a hundred
years ago. One of the characters is Jelly Roll Morton
before he became Jelly Roll Morton.
Anybody read these? Comments?
