Live by Night by Dennis Lehane

Live by Night by Dennis Lehane

From New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane comes this epic, unflinching tale of the making and unmaking of a gangster in the Prohibition Era of the Roaring Twenties--now a Warner Bros. movie starring Ben Affleck, Elle Fanning, Zoe Saldana, and Sienna Miller.

Meticulously researched and artfully told, Live by Night is the riveting story of one man's rise from Boston petty thief to the Gulf Coast's most successful rum runner, and it proves again that the accolades New York Times bestseller Lehane consistently receives are well deserved. He is indeed, "a master" (Philadelphia Inquirer) whose "true literary forefathers include John Steinbeck as well as Raymond Chandler" (Baltimore Sun). And, "Boy, does he know how to write" (Elmore Leonard).

Dennis Lehane's books include the New York Times bestseller Mystic River, as well as Prayers for Rain, Gone, Baby, Gone, Sacred, Darkness, Take My Hand, A Drink Before the War, which won the Shamus Award for Outstanding Debut Novel, and The Given Day. He was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, and now divides his time between Boston and Florida.
