Joe Coughlin has spent a lifetime building a criminal empire, rising from street-level outlaw to a powerful figure in organized crime. But as he grows older, the world around him begins to change—and the rules that once governed his life no longer hold.

Now based in Tampa, Joe tries to maintain control over his operations while navigating shifting alliances, government scrutiny, and the lingering ghosts of his past. Old enemies resurface, loyalties fracture, and the violence he once commanded threatens to consume everything he has left.

Dark, reflective, and deeply human, World Gone By is a powerful conclusion to a sweeping saga—an elegy for a man and a way of life fading into history, where every choice carries a reckoning that cannot be escaped.
