Sinossi
Tampa, 1943. Mentre il mondo intero è in guerra, la mafia americana sta vivendo la sua epoca d’oro. L’ex boss Joe Coughlin lavora come consigliere per la famiglia mafiosa dei Bartolo: gestisce i loro interessi in Florida, a Boston e a Cuba e fa da intermediario tra la criminalità organizzata e l’alta società, tra morti ammazzati e fruscii di abiti da sera. Negli anni successivi alla tragica scomparsa della moglie, uccisa in un agguato, Joe si è risollevato, si è rifatto una vita insieme al figlio e ora ha tutto: soldi, potere, una nuova e bellissima amante, la garanzia dell’anonimato. Ma il successo non può da solo cancellare una vita di peccati: qualcuno lo vuole morto, e lui avrà poche settimane per capire chi e perché lo ha preso di mira, prima che sia troppo tardi.
Duro, amaro, struggente, Tutti i miei errori è un eccezionale romanzo di sangue, passione e vendetta, calato in un’epoca storica magistralmente ricostruita da uno degli autori americani più talentuosi della sua generazione.

I like crime stories set back in the days of fedoras and trenchcoats, and I’m a big fan of Dennis Lehane’s. So this should be perfect, right? Sadly, the best I can say is that it isn’t bad.

Do I really need to tell you in this day and age that this is a very well-written crime saga filled with fully-drawn characters and a page-turning plot? I don't think so. I could just tell you that it's a new Dennis Lehane book and you should already know what to expect. World Gone By is the sequel
