From New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane comes this epic, unflinching tale of the making and unmaking of the gangster in the Prohibition Period from the Roaring Twenties-now a Warner Bros. film 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 the accolades New York Times bestseller Lehane consistently receives are well deserved. He is indeed, “a expert” (Philadelphia Inquirer) whose “accurate literary forefathers consist of John Steinbeck aswell as Raymond Chandler” (Baltimore Sunlight). And, “Young man, does he know how to compose” (Elmore Leonard).

“A standout article writer.”

-Los Angeles Instances Book Review

“[Dennis Lehane] deserves to be included among the most interesting and achieved American novelists of any genre or category.”
