Set in Boston during the 1920s, 'Live by Night' tells the story of Joe Coughlin, the son of an eminent police captain who delves into the world of crime. His rise in the gangster hierarchy during Prohibition takes him from the jazz scene of Boston to the Latin Quarter of Tampa and the streets of Cuba. Along the way, he crosses paths with Emma Gould, a woman who will change his life forever. This novel explores themes of love, revenge, betrayal, and redemption, raising the question of whether a man can be both a criminal and a good person.
