He lands a job in the Coughlin household and meets Danny and the family's Irish maid, Nora, who once had a powerful bond.

   • Dennis Lehane

   • 416 páginas
   • 15 horas de lectura

   From New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane comes this epic, unflinching tale of the making and unmaking of a gangster in the Prohibition Era of the Roaring Twenties—now a Warner Bros. movie starring Ben Affleck, Elle Fanning, Zoe Saldana, and Sienna Miller. 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).

3. Salamandra Narrativa: Ese mundo desaparecido

   • Dennis Lehane

   • 352 páginas
   • 13 horas de lectura

   Antes de que la adaptación cinematográfica de Mystic River lo lanzara a la fama, Dennis Lehane ya era un autor destacado del género negro gracias a los detectives bostonianos Patrick Kenzie y Angela Gennaro. En la última década, su talento para crear historias de gran tensión y complejidad psicológica le ha valido numerosos premios y ha inspirado a Hollywood, consolidándose con series como «The Wire» y «Boardwalk Empire». Actualmente, no hay escritor que retrate con mayor verosimilitud el mundo de los gángsters en Estados Unidos durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. Esta electrizante novela, que cierra la trilogía de Cualquier otro día y Vivir de noche, es un claro ejemplo. Joe Coughlin, padre de un niño de diez años al que adora, ha logrado distanciarse de su turbulento pasado, aunque aún actúa como consejero del clan mafioso de los Bartolo. Su vida tranquila se ve interrumpida por la aparición del fantasma de un chico familiar y, más alarmante, la noticia de que alguien ha puesto precio a su cabeza y planea matarlo durante el Miércoles de Ceniza. Entre su mediación entre clanes mafiosos en conflicto y la búsqueda de su atacante, Joe se verá arrastrado a un pasado lleno de traiciones y venganzas, donde cada día podría ser el último. Tal vez ha llegado el momento de pagar por sus pecados.
