World Gone By, a new Joe Coughlin Book by Dennis Lehane

Ten years have passed since Joe Coughlin’s enemies killed his wife and destroyed his empire, and much has changed.

World Gone By - Dennis LehaneProhibition is dead, the world is at war again, and Joe’s son, Tomás, is growing up.

Now, the former crime kingpin works as a consigliore to the Bartolo crime family, traveling between Tampa and Cuba, his wife’s homeland.

A master who moves in and out of the black, white, and Cuban underworlds, Joe effortlessly mixes with Tampa’s social elite, U.S. Naval intelligence, the Lansky-Luciano mob, and the mob-financed government of Fulgencio Batista.

He has everything—money, power, a beautiful mistress, and anonymity.

But success cannot protect him from the dark truth of his past—and ultimately, the wages of a lifetime of sin will finally be paid in full.
