Live by Night by Dennis Lehane
5.0

Live by Night is an unforgettable, beautifully written story of how gangsters operated during the turbulent time of prohibition told by following the life of self proclaimed outlaw Joe Coughlin. The story of Joe’s life is an epic tale of love, friendship, loyalty and redemption even in a world of betrayal, violence and revenge.

Reminded me a lot of John Hart's Iron House because I was rooting for a gangster throughout the entire book.
