Joe Coughlin is nineteen when he meets Emma Gould. A smalltime thief in 1920s Boston, he is told to cuff her while his accomplices raid the casino she works for. But Joe falls in love with Emma - and his life changes for ever.

That meeting is the beginning of Joe's journey to becoming one of the nation's most feared and respected gangsters. It is a journey beset by violence, double-crossing, drama and pain. And it is a journey into the soul of prohibition-era America...

A powerful, deeply moving novel, Live By Night is a tour-de-force by Dennis Lehane, writer on The Wire and author of modern classics such as Shutter Island, Gone, Baby, Gone and The Given Day.

Recensione

So beautifully written and so sharp in its details and atmosphere that it's no wonder Lehane's books attract filmmakers with such ease ― Irish Voice

Lehane's thrillers mix viscerally violent excitement with a thorough airing of ethical dilemmas ― Daily Telegraph

Lehane is one of the great contemporary American crime writers ― Daily Mail

Dennis Lehane's speciality is the fast-paced gangster thriller that's also a deeply felt novel. His latest, about a Boston criminal, doesn't disappoint on either count... I guarantee that all you'll be able to do is keep on turning the pages. The prose crackles with Chandleresque jokes, the narrative never flags and there's even a genuinely heart-stopping love story. In addition to all that, the book beautifully evokes the entire era of early Thirties Prohibition America ― Readers' Digest

This is a book that should put [Lehane's] name right up there where it belongs, right up there alongside Doctorow and Dreiser ― Scotland on Sunday

This is noir with added value: Lehane is terrific on family ties and at conveying the buzz of a city powered by immigrant labour of often dubious legality ― Guardian

History is merely a backdrop in a story that seeks just to be exciting, sexy and atmospheric. The author's trademark combination of dark deeds, graceful pose and sassy dialogue ensures it succeeds ― Sunday Times

Lehane's tough, muscular prose captures the era well; and his dialogue brings to life the inhabitants of its underworld ― Spectator

This is not just brilliant period crime writing, but brilliant writing full stop ― Independent

The crime writer's crime writer; with a spare, stark edge to his work that lifts it into the truly great clas . . . The gangster world is superbly evoked and the story is as tight and powerful as the trigger on a Thompson sub-machine ― Daily Mail

Sophisticated, literary and barbed enough... it makes this book a sentence-by-sentence pleasure. You are in the hands of an expert. And you'll know it ― Scotsman

Exciting, sexy and atmospheric. Lehane's combination of dark deeds, graceful prose and sassy dialogue ensures it succeeds ― Sunday Times

    5,0 su 5 stelle A MUST READ
    Recensito nel Regno Unito il 24 ottobre 2012

    Dennis Lehane writes two types of book: detective novels featuring Kenzie and Gennaro which are among the best of this genre and more serious work, bordering on the epic, and peppered with facts and actual people from the time and place in which they are set e.g. Shutter Island [to my mind his best yet] Mystic River and The Given Day. This his latest is a follow on from The Given Day and it would add about 5% to the enjoyment of Live By Night if The Given Day was read first. Having said that this is without doubt a fine stand alone novel set initially in Boston and ending in Tampa. For anyone aquainted with both cities there is a fascination in the historical development of both cities woven into the 1920s/1930s story lines.
    A la Godfather the youngest sibling of the Coughlin clan turns out to be the most ruthless kicking against his corrupt , but publicly respected, police chief father as he claws his way up the gangster/outlaw pecking order. But always with a sense of concience which is unusual in his kind of "business". Young Joe meets during a heist a mysterious blond resulting in an explosion of sexual passion. This Emma however never totally gives herself to him and always at least mentally holds herself back. This added to his fascination to the point of addiction to her and caused Joe to briefly take his eye of the ball causing multiple death and Joe's incarceration. The description of his survival in prison is simply frightening but it is the gateway to advancing his career. To reveal more of the story would be wrong other than to say that there are a few surprises , twists and turns along his road to the top. There is violence, but these were violent times and it would be unrealistic to dilute this aspect.
    This is quality writing. I read the 400 plus pages in no time as the exciting story line drew me relentlessly from page to excellent page. I have anticipated a follow up to The Given Day for a couple of years and please believe me it was well worth the wait.

    What a fine book!

    Lehane has written many excellent novels -- most obviously, Mystic River -- but this stands out for me as his best. It works at many levels. The most obvious is the Godfather motifs of how a boy seems destined for a life of professional crime where betrayal and violence are the everyday routine. It has a fairly straightforward narrative drive that is compelling but not in itself what raises it to poignancy and depth. It is for me basically about the search for meaning in a meaningless world. It is a tableau of psychotics that Joe, the shrewd and lethal manipulator, first survives in and comes to dominate. He creeps rather than claws his way to near the top of the gangboss fraternity and there is plenty of very brutal and often disturbing twists in his story.

    At the next level above a thud and blunder crime story is the soulless hardening of Joe and his and most of the characters near-nihilistic view of life. It is constantly tempered by a wish for something more and a belief that, again very-Godfatheresque,this is the life they chose and that chose them; that's the way it is and will be. The tempering force, convincingly woven into the plot, is a false love and a true one. Emma, the elusive waif who is as hard as hard can be, and knows it. For her, love is a nothing, a void. For Joe it is a strange and near pointless emotion in a world where that has no place.

    Graciela is the flamboyant Cuban exile who points to redemption. He meets her in Tampa, after he is released from a harrowing and brutal jail term in Boston, where he has to survive near-certain death by the day. Joe and Graciela come together and it is the counterbalance of what she and Joe can build for each other that gives some sense of meaning that grows subtly and as inexorably as did the imprisonment of Joe's soul. It ends in a mix of the violence and betrayals that mark the path of just about every character, and also a quietus.

    It's rare that a book can combine these strands so well. Lehane writes very clearly and directly. He structures the plot well. It drives forward and is always engaging. The style is plain but not dry. There are some coincidences that are a little unlikely but these are not obtrusive.

    I finished reading it with a sense of immense respect for Lehane's craftsmanship but also found the story surprisingly moving. Other reviews provide excellent detail about the details of the novel. My own aims only to offer an opinion on the elements that to me make it far more than the sum of its pages. It matches Mystic River in its many facets of texture, theme and evocation.

    Unreservedly recommended

    From the opening sentence, "Some years later, on a tugboat in the Gulf of Mexico, Joe Coughlin's feet were placed in a tub of cement," to the closing scene some 400 pages later, this has to rate as one of the best crime/gangster books of all time, putting Lehane firmly in the company of Thompson, Goodis, Burnett, Cain, et al.

    Taking place in Boston,Florida and Cuba during the 1920's and post prohibition 30's, it tells the story of a criminal "outlaw", but with it a description of prison life, gang wars, rumrunning, a female evangelist,(Aimee Temple MacPherson?), crooked cops, Klansmen and crime kingpins, (Luciano,Lansky), during this well researched period of American history.

    As always with Lehane, well written,engrossing and entertaining.
