“World Gone By” is the final part of a panoramic historical trilogy about the fates of several American families, begun with the novels “The Given Day” and “Live by Night.” The writer, once called “the heir to John Steinbeck and Raymond Chandler,” decided to play on the turf of “The Godfather” and “Once Upon a Time in America” — and did so with great confidence.
Joe Coughlin is the son of Boston police captain Thomas Coughlin and the younger brother of former patrolman Danny Coughlin, already known to readers from the novel “The Given Day.” Joe chose a different path and over the decade described in “Live by Night” rose from a lone rebel who cared nothing for the law to the head of the largest bootlegging operation in the region, the right hand of a gangster syndicate boss. Another ten years have passed, Prohibition was repealed long ago, and World War II is raging across the ocean. Joe is raising his son alone and traveling between Florida and Cuba — the homeland of his late wife. He feels at home in high-society salons, among mafiosi, and in the officers’ club of military intelligence. But nothing will protect him from the dark secret of his criminal past…
