#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.
