The Deal

Thriller Legal | Mystery | Thriller

Jonah Gray is an ultra-successful businessman who's excellent at what he does -- closing real estate deals in New York City. The thrill of putting a deal together, manipulating people and challenging himself to reach for the "ultimate" multi-million dollar payoffs put him at the top of his game.

When an old friend approaches Jonah about doing a deal that would probably top every deal done in New York, he brings it before the group he works with and everyone is enthusiastically on board. They handle their on-going deals, but focus all attention on making this new deal happen. As they manipulate and play the game, though, oddities become evident to Jonah.

As his life is threatened and Jonah frantically tries to determine what's happening, he begins to understand the age- old wisdom that important things can't be measured in dollars. His lifestyle -- his Rolex and seven-figure income -- is pretty unimportant.

Mr. Gittlin takes a complicated subject -- real estate deals on the commercial, multi-million dollar level -- and makes it not only interesting but exciting. An excellent read that will intrigue you, mystify you and generally capture your undivided attention!

SUMMARY

Everything about Jonah Gray screams success movie-star good looks, expensive clothes, a Park Avenue penthouse, and a seven-figure income. A cutthroat, rainmaking New York city commercial real estate broker, Jonah craves opulence and power. He beds models, romps the globe on the weekends and sees the world as his for the taking. Jonah Gray has it all. Or at least he had it all.

When a friend presents Jonah with the deal of a lifetime, Jonah jumps at the chance. All Jonah has to do is act quickly, invest half a billion dollars in prime NY office buildings, and collect a huge payoff.

But this golden opportunity is anything but. Within days of signing on, Jonah is mysteriously thrust into the epicenter of an international and personal scandal.

Forced to explore a whole new territory where he can trust no one, and where danger, death and deception lurk at every corner, Jonah will learn some painfully hard lessons about the quest for easy money.

Closing this deal could mean losing everything.
