"A meticulously crafted portrait of our violent national past."-Washington Post Book World
Now
available with a contemporary look, New York Times bestselling author
Dennis Lehane's epic, unflinching tale of Prohibition, the Roaring Twenties,
and one man's rise from Boston petty thief to the Gulf Coast's most successful
rum runner.
Joe Coughlin, the youngest son of a prominent
Boston police captain, has long since turned his back on his strict and proper
upbringing, and enjoys the spoils, thrills, and notoriety of being an outlaw.
But life on the dark side carries a heavy price, and one fate seems most likely
for men like Joe: an early death. Until that day, he and his friends are
determined to live life to the hilt.
Joe
embarks on a dizzying journey up the ladder of organized crime that takes him
from the flash of Jazz Age Boston to the sensual shimmer of Tampa's Latin
Quarter to the sizzling streets of Cuba. Live
by Night is a riveting epic
layered with a diverse cast of loyal friends and callous enemies, tough
rumrunners and sultry femmes fatales, Bible-quoting evangelists and cruel
Klansmen, all battling for survival and their piece of the American dream. At
once a sweeping love story and a compelling saga of revenge, it is a
spellbinding tour de force that brings fully to life a bygone era when sin was
cause for celebration and vice was a national virtue.
