#1 New York Times bestselling author Nelson DeMille
delivers the long-awaited follow-up to his classic novel
The Gold Coast.
When John Sutter's
aristocratic wife killed her mafia don lover, John left
America and set out in his sailboat on a three-year journey
around the world, eventually settling in London. Now, ten
years later, he has come home to the Gold Coast, that
stretch of land on the North Shore of Long Island that once
held the greatest concentration of wealth and power in
America, to attend the imminent funeral of an old family
servant. Taking up temporary residence in the gatehouse of
Stanhope Hall, John finds himself living only a quarter of a
mile from Susan who has also returned to Long Island. But
Susan isn't the only person from John's past who has
reemerged: Though Frank Bellarosa, infamous Mafia don and
Susan's ex-lover, is long dead, his son, Anthony, is alive
and well, and intent on two missions: Drawing John back into
the violent world of the Bellarosa family, and exacting
revenge on his father's murderer--Susan Sutter. At the same
time, John and Susan's mutual attraction resurfaces and old
passions begin to reignite, and John finds himself pulled
deeper into a familiar web of seduction and betrayal. In THE
GATE HOUSE, acclaimed author Nelson Demille brings us back
to that fabled spot on the North Shore -- a place where
past, present, and future collides with often unexpected
results.
