(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, May 07, 2024 ) Denver, CO and Chicago, IL – From the gritty, coal-dense air of Ellis Island to the foggy shoreline of Al Capone’s mansion in Wisconsin, the consequences of gruesome choices made in the past reveal themselves in this dreamscape world of desire, lust, incest, insanity and murder. Patricia Vuillemot’s Band of Tears: Emerald Saga follows two previous novels, Band of Tears and Band of Tears: Obsidian Saga, which was an Outskirts Press EVVY book award nominee.
Emerald Saga completes the first 60 years of the saga and brings the reader to the 1980s Chicago financial greed revolution. All three novels (with a fourth on the way!) have been published by Outskirts Press—the fastest-growing, full-service self-publishing and book marketing company.
Theresa is an exquisitely beautiful investigative reporter for the Chicago Daily Watch, but her perfect world is shaken when she finds that her handsome, charming husband is physically abusive—and has ties to the mafia. After a nasty divorce, Theresa escapes Chicago and rents a lakeside cabin in Wisconsin. There she finds a golden ring and is startled to discover that she is able to glimpse scenes from the past. Her flashbacks reveal the private details of Al Capone's life as seen through the eyes of a victim of the Chicago mob. From the grimy streets of 1920s Chicago to Al Capone's luxurious mansion in Wisconsin, Theresa's journey takes her on a path that only fate can execute. Is the discovery of the band of tears the end—or the beginning of a new life?

“Prepare to embark on a captivating journey through the streets of Chicago’s lawless prohibition era to the Northwoods of Wisconsin in the 1980s. Just like the two books before, this book delves into family, greed, violence and lust that span decades. The storyline was so bold it defied the constraints of time and the finality of death. Couldn’t put it down!” —The University Book Reviews Pelton Rexnord
“The narrative skillfully weaves together moments of reflection, heart-pounding action and unexpected revelations, keeping you engaged and eager to uncover the next piece of the puzzle.” —R. Joseph Maretta
