Please note that while tickets guarantee your chance to meet the authors and have your books personally autographed, tickets do not guarantee seats. Dennis Lehane's ninth novel, Live by Night, is the compelling tale of Joe Coughlin, youngest son of a prominent police captain, on his dizzying journey up the ladder of organized crime, from petty thief in Jazz Age Boston to wildly successful rumrunner in Ybor City, with a fancy Hyde Park home. The riveting epic has a rich cast of loyal friends and callous enemies, tough guys and sultry femmes fatales, Bible-quoting evangelists and cruel Klansmen, all battling for survival and their piece of the American dream. The spoils, thrills, and notoriety are tempered by the dark side of living by night, in this tour de force that once again proves Lehane is, as Bancroft says,“one of the big dogs of contemporary crime fiction”. “Lehane…has done his homework on local history. He evokes Ybor City's multicultural, ardently political past as well as its criminal legends, like those tunnels under the streets that bootleggers and drug dealers used… Lehane is a past master of suspense and action, and his turn here from characters who solve crimes to those who commit them offers him rich territory…Live by Night takes on big subjects - race, class, money, religion, friendship, family, violence - by embedding them in irresistible storytelling about a compelling, conflicted and mordantly funny man.” Tampa Bay Times “This is an utterly magnetic novel on every level…set against an exquisitely rendered historical backdrop.” Booklist (starred review) “Masterful. . . . Lehane has created a mature, quintessentially American story that will appeal to readers of literary and crime fiction alike.” Publishers Weekly (starred review) “...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.” Kirkus Reviews Dennis Lehane was born and raised in Dorchester, Massachusetts, but now makes his home in St. Petersburg most of the year. He has written eight other novels, A Drink Before the War; Darkness, Take My Hand; Sacred; Gone, Baby, Gone; Prayers for Rain; Mystic River; Shutter Island;and The Given Day. Michael Koryta’s latest novel, The Prophet, is a gripping story of the lingering effects of survivors of victims of violent crime, with destinies altered by guilt and blame. Though they haven’t spoken in years, brothers Adam and Kent Austin still live in the small town where their younger sister was abducted and murdered when they were teens. Guilt-ridden Adam is a bail bondsman working too close to the criminal fringes, while religiously rehabilitated Kent is the beloved high school football coach. When another teen girl is found murdered with circumstances eerily connecting the crime to the Austin brothers, they’re forced to confront their buried rage and grief as they unite to stop a killer. Hailed as one of the best young suspense writers at work today, Koryta has written his greatest novel ever - an emotionally harrowing, unstoppably suspenseful novel that proves why Michael Connelly has named him "one of the best of the best." “Friday Night Lights meets In Cold Bloodin this powerful tale…It's a brilliantly paced thriller that keeps its villains at a tantalizing distance, a compelling family portrait, a study in morality that goes beyond the usual black-and-white judgments, and an entertaining spin on classic football fiction. A flawless performance.” Kirkus Reviews Michael Koryta has won several prestigious awards and nominations for the Edgar, Quill, Shamus and Barry awards, and his work has been translated into nearly 20 languages. A former PI and newspaper reporter, Koryta graduated from Indiana University with a degree in criminal justice, and currently lives in St. Petersburg, and Bloomington, Indiana.

"From Gone, Baby, Gone to Mystic River to Shutter Island to The Given Day, the phenomenal Dennis Lehane has proven himself to be one of the most versatile and exciting novelists working in America today--whether he's breaking new ground with uniquely inventive psychological suspense, redefining the detective story, or bringing a bygone era to life with sweeping and masterful historical fiction. He's back with Live by Night, an epic, unflinching tale of the making and unmaking of a gangster in the Prohibition Era of the Roaring Twenties. Meticulously researched and artfully told, Live by Night is the riveting story of one man's rise from Boston petty thief to the Gulf Coast's most successful rum runner, and it proves again that the accolades New York Times bestseller Lehane consistently receives are well deserved. He is indeed, "a master" (Philadelphia Inquirer) whose "true literary forefathers include John Steinbeck as well as Raymond Chandler" (Baltimore Sun). And, "Boy, does he know how to write" (Elmore Leonard).

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 “Masterful. . . . Lehane has created a mature, quintessentially American story that will appeal to readers of literary and crime fiction alike.” Publishers Weekly, starred review
Boston, 1926. The ‘20s are roaring. Liquor is flowing, bullets are flying, and one man sets out to make his mark on the world. Prohibition has given rise to an endless network of underground distilleries, speakeasies, gangsters, and corrupt cops. Joe Coughlin, the youngest son of a prominent Boston police captain, has long since turned his back on his strict and proper upbringing. Now having graduated from a childhood of petty theft to a career in the pay of the city's most fearsome mobsters, Joe enjoys the spoils, thrills, and notoriety of being an outlaw.
Joe embarks on a dizzying journey up the ladder of organized crime that takes him from the flash of Jazz Age Boston to the sensual shimmer of Tampa's Latin Quarter to the sizzling streets of Cuba. At once a sweeping love story and a compelling saga of revenge, it is a spellbinding tour de force of betrayal and redemption, music and murder, that brings fully to life a bygone era when sin was cause for celebration and vice was a national virtue.
Dennis Lehane is the author of nine novels—including the New York Times bestsellers Gone, Baby, Gone; Mystic River; Shutter Island; and The Given Day—as well as Coronado, a collection of short stories and a play. He and his wife, Angie, divide their time between Boston and the Gulf Coast of Florida.
