Boston, 1926. The '20s are roaring. Liquor is flowing,
bullets are flying, and one man sets out of make his mark on
the world.

Joe Coughlin, the son of a prominent Boston police captain,
has long since turned his back on his proper upbringing. Now
in the pay of the city's most fearsome mobsters, Joe enjoys
the spoils, thrills, and notoriety of being an outlaw.

Joe embarks on a dizzying journey up the ladder of organized
crime that takes him from Jazz Age Boston to Tampa's Latin
Quarter to the streets of Cuba. Live by Night is a riveting
epic layered with loyal friends and callous enemies, tough
rumrunners and sultry femme fatales, Bible-quoting
evangelists and cruel Klansmen, all battling for survival
and their piece of the American dream. A compelling saga of
love and revenge, it is a spellbinding tour de force of
betrayal and redemption that brings to life a bygone era
when sin was cause for celebration and vice was a national
virtue.
