Review Quotes
Michael Amos Cody does a fantastic job creating interesting and empathetic characters, especially his protagonist Ezra, a budding songwriter whose perilous odyssey through the streets of Nashville is much more than grist for the mill-it's also a heart-rending exploration of music, violence, and the power of friendship.

Cody is a talented new voice in Southern fiction whose stories will appear on bookshelves for many years to come.-C.W. Blackwell, author of Hard Mountain Clay
An elegantly written, mysterious and electric crime novel. Michael Amos Cody's experience as a Nashville songwriter and Ezra MacRae's encyclopedic knowledge of country music bring Streets of Nashville to life.-Alex Kenna, author of What Meets the Eye and Burn This Night
