Dennis Lehane, the New York Times bestselling author of The Given Day and Live by Night, returns with a psychologically and morally complex novel of blood, crime, passion, and vengeance, set in Cuba and Ybor City, Florida, during World War II, in which Joe Coughlin must confront the cost of his criminal past and present.

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

Dennis Lehane vividly recreates the rise of the mob during a world at war, from a masterfully choreographed Ash Wednesday gun battle in the streets of Ybor City to a chilling, heartbreaking climax in a Cuban sugar cane field. Told with verve and skill,  World Gone By is a superb work of historical fiction from one of “the most interesting and accomplished American novelists” (Washington Post) writing today.

Recensione

“Lehane, who has developed into a novelist of seemingly effortless power and command, is missing nothing in his delivery. Few writers can equal his ability to balance dark and light, casual and intense, here and then. More than a sequel, World Gone By seems lit by its predecessor and the events of the past as if through a prism—or maybe a black light. In the process, Joe Coughlin’s story becomes more epic still.”  — Chicago Tribune

“Lehane writes convincingly, tensely, tersely, powerfully, about the fatal tensions of daily Mob life without romanticizing it, without judging it. He steers the plot and its characters toward inevitable consequences. Everyone here is bloodied—splattered with either their own or someone else’s blood...This gangster novel is violent, graphic and guiltily compelling.”  — USA Today

“Lehane has Elmore Leonard’s ear for dialogue and a masterly touch with description... World Gone By offers a frisson like you get from the best gangster sagas from The Godfather to The Sopranos — entry into a world of complex characters who are operating within their highly risky world. And it serves a plot that drives relentlessly forward without ever feeling forced.” — Miami Herald

“Lehane is shaping a tragedy in World Gone By, along classic lines set in a seamy underbelly. The novel’s plot is as complex as its morality while both are fueled by searing betrayals.” — New York Daily News

“Lehane’s prose is muscular and lean, elegant and brutal, and his action scenes are cause to sit back and exhale when they’re over...World Gone By is a poetic conclusion to an accomplished American crime story.” — Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“A textbook guide on how to end a series .” — Associated Press

“Lehane [is] a novelist of…effortless power.” — Chicago Tribune

“Lehane’s 12th novel is a classic gangster epic.” — Tampa Bay Times

Dalla quarta di copertina

“Lehane writes convincingly tensely . . . powerfully.”—USA Today

Late spring, 1943. The world is at war but the American mob is in its heyday. Former crime boss Joe Coughlin now works as a consigliere to the infamous Bartolo Crime Family, effortlessly handling their interests in Tampa, Boston, and Cuba. In the decade since he lost his wife in a cascade of bullets, Joe has made a home for himself and his son, and once again forged everything out of nothing: money, power, a relationship with a beautiful woman, and a privileged place in Tampa’s shadowy underworld.

But a rumor surfaces that someone wants Joe dead. And he has only days to figure out who, or he will die. And then there’s the ghost—a young boy who appears on the fringes of Joe’s vision and seems to be trying to tell him something. Racing against time and fate, Joe hurtles through a violent yet intoxicating world on the brink of total collapse or epic triumph, a world on the cusp of reinvention and rebirth—where the old codes, the old sins, and the old dreams may soon be swept away once and for all.

“The novel’s plot is as complex as its morality.”—Daily News (New York)

“Lehane has Elmore Leonard’s ear for dialogue.”—Miami Herald

... any more. And thus he will pay a very high price to protect the only person that really counts for him over the last years: His son Tomas.
More than ten years ago the mob murdered Joe's beloved wife and left him alone to raise his baby son in the brutal mafian world that is Florida. Europe is divided now by the Second World War and the USA had to enter the conflict on the Asian front after the attack on Pearl Harbour. All that Joe really wanted, was to create a secure future for himself to guide his son into adulthood. So he left the activity of a Gangster Boss behind, and contented himself with the role as a "Consigliere", to help all the important Families on his and their turf to make as much money possible. Respected now for years by everyone as it seems, he is surprised to hear about a Contract for his killing. Joe starts to get nervous, to see ghosts and his calm life is more and more disturbed by actions he could neither foresee nor explain to himself . A war between all races, families and interests is unavoidable, and Joe - as always the middleman who only wants to maintain the very fragile peace - will have to make sometimes bad choices and act against his deepest convictions. Blood will flow, and there are traitors very close to our condemned hero. So Joe has to go the full mile - only to save the future of his beloved son Tomas...
This third book of the Coughlin series left me with a great sadness after I read it in only one night - breathless. Masterly written like its predecessors, it sadly fulfilled all my worst imagination. So many dead, betrayal, false accuses - only for what? Florida will never be the same again without a lot of its greatest protagonists - of the better or worse kind. Power voids will present themselves in the USA and in Cuba, too. And the Coughlin-story does not end here - I am almost sure. Because You cannot foresee what the youngest member of the Coughlin family will do, when he enters his adultness. He has seen too much blood and death to be not deeply afflicted by all what happened. I personally would prefer this "Coughlin Series" to be continued. And to read more about Joe's brother in Hollywood, too. ONE world may have gone by, but there are lots of others still to be discovered...

An excellent book, well written and I will not comment too much to spoil the enjoyment of reading it. Just one or two points about the series: the Germans were not extracting oil from north Africa, this didn't happen until the mid/late 1950s....people in his books all 'Yelp' when shot and I would bet that the author loves or loved a young lady with a birthmark on her back.

5,0 su 5 stelle A masterful follow-up that combines with LIVE BY NIGHT to make something greater than either book on its own
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 22 luglio 2016
Acquisto verificato
A few years ago, Dennis Lehane published Live by Night, the story of gangster Joe Coughlin and his rise to power in the Tampa/Cuba mob. It was a fascinating take on gangster stories, one that hadn’t been told before, and it felt fresh and exciting in a way that many gangster stories can’t, simply by virtue of being familiar. But by the end of that novel, Joe was stepping away from the life, moving towards something calmer.

So it’s unexpected, in some ways, to have a sequel to that book. And yet, here we are. World Gone By picks up nearly a decade after the end of Live By Night. Joe is mostly a legitimate businessman, but serves as the consigliere for his friend Dion – his name still carries a lot of weight, as does his business sense and ability to make money. He’s trying to raise his son, Tomas, on his own. And he’s wary of the ongoing fight in Europe – as is everyone around him – not just for fear of the Nazis, but also for what it means for his business.

And then, through a complicated series of events, Joe finds out that someone is trying to kill him. And while he knows the date, he doesn’t know who, and no one seems to know why.

That’s about all of the plot you should know about World Gone By, which unfolds from there, following Joe as he seeks to figure out this threat on his life, protect his son, and maintain his balance between his past and his efforts to be a better man. It’s a rich plot, one filled with fascinating characters, shocking violence, infinite shades of morality, and no easy answers – in other words, it’s exactly what you would expect from Dennis Lehane, who is one of the great masters of modern noir. While Lehane could have made World Gone By its own book, making it a sequel to Live By Night feels appropriate – this is the outcome of Joe’s life, and the book’s theme – that, in some ways, this is the world Joe created, and one which he deserves – is all the richer for us having seen his ascent to the top.

More than that, though, to read World Gone By is to read one of the great modern writers at the top of his game. There are chapters here that feel like nothing Lehane has done before, and succeed beyond your wildest imagination. The book’s prologue, for instance, follows a newspaper writer as he notices some pictures from a society charity event a few months, and realizes just how many of those people would die in the months following that picture. It’s a beautiful, and oddly bittersweet, way to open the book, and gives Lehane a fascinating way to get into his story. We know that violence is coming; we know that these people – well, many of them – won’t survive the book.

And yet, that still doesn’t prepare you for what Lehane does as he transitions into the party and Coughlin’s perspective, as he sees a most unique visitor to the party. It starts a compelling, strange thread in the book, one that reaches its climax only at the very end, and one that feels not only like Lehane trying something new, but pays off in a beautiful, haunting way by the end.

Even with all of this said, I don’t think I’ve quite done World Gone By justice; I haven’t even touched on the nightmarish scenes with King Lucius, or the perfect relationships between fathers and sons that fill the book, or Coughlin’s complicated relationship with a local woman. Suffice to say this: when I finished Live By Night, I thought it was Lehane’s best book to date. Now, World Gone By elevates that book, working together with Live By Night to make a pair that’s more than the sum of its parts. I can’t recommend it enough; as it is, I was heartbroken to get to the end, and to realize that I had no more pages left.

5,0 su 5 stelle Crime Writing At It`s Best
Recensito in Canada il 30 giugno 2015
Acquisto verificato
It`s 1943, the U S is at war, and Joe Coughlin, introduced in Lehane`s 2008, "The Given Day", has retired as Mob boss, but acts as fixer and consultant to the Tampa underworld. Since his wife was killed he has been raising a son, become involved with a high profile, beautiful woman, and now finds himself caught in the middle of a gang war and power struggle. To make matters worse, there appears to be a contract out on his head, and there`s that ghostly child which keeps reappearing.

This is all about friendship and betrayal, about a father`s devotion. Actual characters appear, Lansky and Luciano. But above all it is about violence and Lehane is unsparing in his descriptions of murder, torture and bloodshed.

This is a riveting book which can be read on it`s own, but in order to get a better picture of what is going on, start with "The Given Day". Both are crime writing at it`s best.

5,0 su 5 stelle Krönender Abschluss der Trilogie
Recensito in Germania il 10 settembre 2015
Acquisto verificato
Tampa, Florida 1943: Der Gangster Joe Coughlin hat sich aus dem aktiven Kriminalgeschäft zurückgezogen und ist (fast) nur noch als Berater für die Mafia-Familie Bartolo tätig. Gemeinsam mit Sohn Tomas pendelt er zwischen Florida und Kuba, der Heimat seiner verstorbenen Frau. Die Geschäfte florieren nicht zuletzt dank des Bedarfs an Rohstoffen im Krieg und Joe genießt höchstes Ansehen, verkehrt nicht nur in der Unterwelt von Havanna und Tampa, sondern dort auch in den besten Kreisen.

Doch die Vergangenheit fordert ihren Tribut und als er einen Hinweis bekommt, dass auf seinen Kopf ein Preis ausgesetzt wurde ist es vorbei mit dem Ruhestand. Außerdem fügen die Gesetzeshüter dem Imperium empfindliche Verluste zu, denn sie scheinen Hinweise aus dem inneren Kreis der Familie zu bekommen. Joe ist gezwungen, in sein altes Leben zurückzukehren und zieht noch einmal in die Schlacht…

Im dritten Teil der Coughlin-Trilogie (Teil eins »The Given Day«, Teil zwei »Live By Night«) zieht Dennis Lehane erneut alle Register seines Könnens und begeistert den Leser mit faszinierenden Figuren (erinnern z.T. an die der TV-Serie »Sopranos«) und spannenden Geschichten von Freundschaft, Liebe und Verrat. Wie im richtigen Leben gibt es nicht nur schwarz oder weiß, sondern alle Schattierungen und Farben dazwischen und die Protagonisten handeln in dem stringenten Plot stets nachvollziehbar, wenn auch nicht immer fehlerlos.

Bei »World Gone By« handelt es sich zwar im Gegensatz zu den Vorgängern »nur« um einen Kriminalroman, aber der ist hochklassig geschrieben und die historischen Hintergründe sind dabei das Salz in der Suppe. Wir treffen in dem Buch u.a. die Mafia-Größen Lucky Luciano und Meyer-Lansky, sowie den korrupten kubanischen Präsidenten Batista; allerdings sind sie gekonnt eingebettet in die Handlung und nicht nur Staffage. Dennis Lehane liefert mit »World Gone By« einen krönenden Abschluss der Trilogie, schade, dass es vorbei ist.
