"Lehane's novel carves its own unique place in the Prohibition

family, passion, betrayal--set against an exquisitely rendered
historical backdrop."--Booklist (starred review)
"Masterful. . . . Lehane has created a mature, quintessentially
American story that will appeal to readers of literary and crime
fiction alike."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"LIVE BY NIGHT transcends the familiar and assumes an unimpeachable
reality of its own. . . . [A] meticulously crafted portrait of our
violent national past."--Washington Post Book World
