03/12/2015 01:00 AMFans of Lehane's historical series about Joe Coughlin won't be disappointed with this novel. Set in Florida and Cuba during World War II, it begins 10 years after Joe's enemies killed his wife and ruined his bootlegging business. He is now struggling to raise his son in the Tampa underworld. He has become a respected member of society in spite of his connections to the mob and his criminal past. However, things change when Joe hears a rumor that there is a "hit" out on his life. The pace of the story picks up as he tries to figure out whom he can trust. Lehane's characterization of Coughlin is well written.
