World gone by

Dennis Lehane

Ten years have passed since Joe Coughlin's enemies killed his wife and destroyed his empire. Prohibition is dead and the world is at war again, and Joe's son, now the former crime kingpin, works as a consigliere to the Bartolo crime family travelling between Tampa and Cuba. A master at moving 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. 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.
