Dennis Lehane’s LIVE BY NIGHT comes out October 2nd, and we’re thrilled to tell you that it’s already received a starred review from Kirkus!
“The acclaimed mystery writer again tries his hand at historical fiction, combining period detail from the Prohibition era with the depth of character and twists of plot that have won him such a devoted readership,” says Kirkus, calling the novel’s protagonist, Joe Coughlin, “one of the most compelling characters ever created by Lehane.”
Kirkus concludes by declaring, “The novel builds to a powerful series of climaxes, following betrayal upon betrayal, which will satisfy Lehane’s fans and deserves to extend his readership as well. Power, lust and moral ambiguity combine for an all-American explosion of fictional fireworks.”
And who doesn’t love fireworks?
