Searching for the City's Hidden History
• Eve Lazarus is the author of 3 previous Vancouver history titles for Arsenal: Cold Case Vancouver: The City's Most Baffling Unsolved Murders (2015), Blood, Sweat, and Fear: The Story of Inspector Vance, Vancouver's First Forensic Investigator (2017), and Murder by Milkshake: An Astonishing True Story of Adultery, Arsenic, and a Charismatic Killer (2018).
• Eve’s background is as an investigative journalist, and her latest book Vancouver Exposed is the culmination of many years on the “prowl” in the Lower Mainland. Unlike her previous books that focused on a specific subject or person, Vancouver Exposed takes on various hidden histories throughout the city. • The book is large format (8.5 x 10) and includes full color and B&W photographs and visuals throughout.
• In addition to her books, Eve is a popular blogger (“Every Place has a Story”), and she got the idea for this book from the positive reactions she received from her blog audience. In her own words: “People in Vancouver have a deep nostalgia for the past and a growing uneasiness about the future. Important heritage buildings are missing from our landscape, others have been repurposed as our needs for them shift, neighborhoods are in flux, and many of us are caught up in a cycle of property speculation and demolition, rising rents and increasing isolation. I wanted to show Vancouver in a different light, and at the same time, forge a deeper connection with the city as we navigate our way through immense change.”
