On the last morning before the closing of Storyville, the only legally-sanctioned red-light district in American history, private detective Valentin St. Cyr is wakened by a shot fired through his window. And so begins The Day Ends at Dawn, the seventh and final novel in David Fulmer's acclaimed St. Cyr series.Through the morning, noon, and night, Valentin seeks to counter "Mr. Blank," the mysterious culprit who has been sent to stop, or indeed, even kill him before he delivers devastating information about the real reason the District is shutting down. It's a lethal cat-and-mouse game that lasts over a raucous and bloody twenty-four hours, with the bloody climax arriving just before the break of day.Here also are the last appearances of the cast of characters who were brought to life in this award-winning series: Justine, the former sporting-girl who became Valentin's wife; Tom Anderson, once known as "The King of Storyville"; James McKinney, the police lieutenant who has been a cool presence throughout; and Valentin, the private detective of Creole and Sicilian heritage who has protected the red-light district for ten fateful years.
