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 Twentiesânow 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 manâs rise from Boston petty thief to the Gulf Coastâs most successful rum runner, and it proves again that the accolades New York Times bestseller Lehane consistently receives are well deserved. He is indeed, âa masterâ (Philadelphia Inquirer) whose âtrue literary forefathers include John Steinbeck as well as Raymond Chandlerâ (Baltimore Sun). And, âBoy, does he know how to writeâ (Elmore Leonard).
âA standout writer.â
âLos Angeles Times Book Review
â[Dennis Lehane] deserves to be included among the most interesting and accomplished American novelists of any genre or category.â
