Upriver: New Orleans Joys Book Two

by Tim Bryant

What do you need to know about Upriver? Judd Jesup is back, fresh from his experience in Bywater. If you’ve read that book, you should be primed and ready for this one. It may also help if you have some knowledge of Storyville, the redlight district of late-nineteenth-century/early-twentieth-century New Orleans where jazz was born. Or if you’ve heard of Jelly Roll Morton. But if you know nothing on these subjects, don’t worry. This trip will take you back to those days. Time, it seems, isn’t at all what we think it is. Music, as Judd learns, is the real magic. And Storyville? Well, it just sounds like a place where stories are born.
