Praise for
RAMPART STREET
“Though written before Katrina hit, ‘Rampart Street’ eerily
captures the sense of disorientation when someone returns to a
beloved place and feels himself a stranger… the elegiac tone in
which Fulmer views the city’s fabled amusements feels sadly
prescient.”
-- The New York Times
"A bittersweet trip to New Orleans… A blues-drenched pleasure."
-- The Christian Science Monitor
“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 as much as the complicated plot."
-- Publishers Weekly
"Fulmer improves with each outing in this ambience-drenched
series, displaying a subtle touch with human relationships,
especially those that traverse New Orleans' fluid color line. "
-- Booklist
“You can almost taste the gumbo…Fulmer’s languid,
conversational style perfectly matches the Crescent City setting with
its complex web of murder, corruption, and betrayal.”
-- The San Francisco Chronicle
“Fulmer’s plotting is spot-on, his dialogue laden with period slang
and his characters multi-faceted and interestingly motivated.”
