Live by Night

It’s the roaring 20s, and Prohibition hasn’t stopped the flow of booze in an underground network of gangster-run speakeasies. The opportunity for power and money is there for any man with enough ambition and nerve. Joe Coughlin, the son of the Boston Police Superintendent, long ago turned his back on his strict upbringing in exchange for the spoils of being an outlaw. But, even among criminals there are rules, and Joe breaks a big one – crossing a powerful mob boss by stealing both the gangster’s money and moll. The fiery affair ends in tragedy, setting Joe on a path of revenge, ambition, romance, and betrayal that propels him out of Boston and up the ladder of Tampa’s steamy rum-running underworld.
