Dennis Lehane

Live by Night Lp: a Novel Dennis Lehane Lgr edition

From Gone, Baby, Gone to Mystic River to Shutter Island to The Given Day, the phenomenal Dennis Lehane has proven himself to be one of the most versatile and exciting novelists working in America today?whether he?s breaking new ground with uniquely inventive psychological suspense, redefining the detective story, or bringing a bygone era to life with sweeping and masterful historical fiction. He?s back with Live by Night, an epic, unflinching tale of the making and unmaking of a gangster in the Prohibition Era of the Roaring Twenties.

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).
