"Lehane's novel carves its own unique place in the Prohibition landscape. . . . This is an utterly magnetic novel on every level, a reimagining of the great themes of popular fiction--crime, family, passion, betrayal--set against an exquisitely rendered historical backdrop." -- Booklist (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"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 is Crime Noir 101, as taught by the best of its current practitioners. . . . A sentence-by-sentence pleasure. You are in the hands of an expert. And you'll know it." -- Janet Maslin, New York Times
