Boston, 1926. Alkoholforbudet har lagt til rette for et endeløst nett-verk av hemmelige destillerier, nattklubber, gangstere og korrupte politibetjenter. Joe Coughlin, den yngste sønnen av en anerkjent politisjef, har gått fra en barndom som lommetyv, til en lysende karriere hos byens mest fryktede mafia. Men livet på den mørke siden har en pris. Bortenfor penger og makt, og trusselen om fengselsstraff, skiller én skjebne seg ut for menn som Joe: En tidlig død. Men frem til da har han og vennene hans tenkt å leve livet til det fulle.

Dennis Lehane's stunning novel Live By Night is now a major film, produced, directed and starring Ben Affleck - due for release in January 2017

The brilliantly dark and atmospheric new masterpiece from one of the most critically-acclaimed and respected crime authors of his generation

Dennis Lehane, the New York Times bestselling author of Live by Night--now a Warner Bros. movie starring Ben Affleck--delivers a psychologically, 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, Tom s, 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.
