LIVE BY NIGHT by Dennis Lehane

Dennis Lehane is a force to be reckoned with. His bestselling novels include Gone, Baby Gone, Mystic River, Shutter Island, The Given Day, and Moonlight Mile, and big-screen adaptations have been helmed by Ben Affleck, Clint Eastwood, and Martin Scorsese. Called “as much social historian as mystery writer,” by The Chicago Tribune, Lehane once again showcases his ability to create suspenseful historical fiction with his first stand-alone novel in four years. The popularity of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire and Ken Burns’ Prohibition mini-series have set the stage for LIVE BY NIGHT, a Prohibition-era tale that catapults readers between 1920s Boston and Florida, introducing a cast of hard-living gangsters, petty criminals, and two unforgettable dames. This novel released just two weeks ago is already on the New York Times Bestseller List.
