Reviews

""Lee Barnes's Emerald City Blues tells a classic tale of a young woman escaping a small town and seeking a new life in the big city. Set in World War II Los Angeles and filled with gritty period detail, the novel follows Eve Halverson as she discovers a deceptive world of mixed loyalties, hidden identities, racial division, and threats of violence. Even as dangers increase and tensions rise, Eve is surviving and growing and learning who she really is. Emerald City Blues is a page-turner with heart."" - Lawrence Coates, author of The Goodbye House: A Novel
