World Gone By

'The best gangster novel since The Godfather' Stephen King

Joe Coughlin is untouchable. Once one of America's most feared and prominent
gangsters, he now moves effortlessly between the social elite, politicians,
police and the mob. He has everything he could possibly want; money, power, a
beautiful mistress, and anonymity.

But in a town that runs on corruption, vengeance and greed, success can't
protect Joe from the dark truth of his past -- and ultimately, the wages of a
lifetime of sin will finally be paid in full . . .

Chilling, heart-breaking and gripping, this is the most complex and powerful
novel to date from Dennis Lehane, writer on The Wire and author of modern
classics such as Shutter Island, Gone, Baby, Gone and The Given Day.
