From Dennis Lehane, bestselling author of The Given Day, comes a
spellbinding tour de force that brings to life a bygone era when
vice was a national virtue
Boston, 1926. Prohibition has given rise to an endless network
of underground distilleries, speakeasies, gangsters, and corrupt
cops. Joe Coughlin, the youngest son of a prominent police captain,
has graduated from a childhood of petty theft to a career in the
pay of the city's most fearsome mobsters. But life on the dark side
carries a heavy price. Beyond money and power, even the threat of
prison, one fate seems most likely for men like Joe: an early
death. But until that day, he and his friends are determined to
live life to the hilt.
Joe's dizzying journey up the ladder of organized crime 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 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.
