Live By Night by Dennis Lehane

March 22, 2013 11:00 am • Last Updated: March 22, 2013 11:21 am

In Lehane’s newest novel, the sequel to Any Given Day, we leave the Coughlin family’s Boston world and follow Joe to Tampa, Florida, as his fortune rises from small town criminal to one of the East Coast’s most highly respected gangsters in a plot that looks at the world of rum running, the ties of family loyalty, and the immigrant community of Florida. All in all, Live by Night is a dark and satisfying noir thriller, written eloquently and seen through the eyes of an endearing protagonist.
