World Gone By is the third novel in Dennis Lehane 's Coughlin trilogy. In 1943, ten years after the events of Live by Night, Joe Coughlin splits his energies between running the mob's legitimate businesses in Tampa, raising his son Tomas, and conducting an affair with the mayor's wife. His best friend Dion is the boss of Ybor City but seems to be losing his grip on power, and there's trouble stirring between his subordinates and Black Ybor. And someone wants to kill Joe, and he wants to find out who. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| World Gone By / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Compared to Live by Night, World Gone By has a lower body count and is overall the less violent story. However, this novel has a much darker tone and the violence, which is usually related through Joe's mental reviews of different characters' backstories, is arguably more disturbing (cf. Doctor Lenox, Billy Kovich). | |

Cassandra Truth | |
| World Gone By / int_cf92fea8 | comment |
Cassandra Truth: Zigzagged. Most of the novel is Joe flip flopping between fearing for his life and thinking it's a ruse. Played straight in the end. | |

Hypocrite | |
| World Gone By / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
How Joe feels about the white members of the Tampa mob deciding to come down hard on Montooth Dix, a black man, for killing a couple of their own defending his territory. A white man killing white men is one thing, but a black man killing white men can't be tolerated. | |

The Starscream | |
| World Gone By / int_d852da6d | comment |
The Star Scream: Rico starts out as a good earner and a trusted member of the mob, but he thinks he can oust Dion. He goes so far as to get permission from the commission to stage a hit on Dion. Making it worse that JOE IS ON THE COMMISSION. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: Billy Kovich is mentioned in the prologue but doesn't show up much later. Doesn't live long either. | |

Drugs Are Bad: While not an anti-drug book, cocaine is the reason Dion became an informant. | |
