The Gold Coast (John Sutter Book 1)
<b><i>The Great Gatsby</i></b><b> meets <i>The Godfather</i> in this #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling story of friendship and seduction, love and betrayal.<br /></b><b></b><br /><b>"[Demille is] a true master." - Dan Brown, #1 bestselling author of <i>The Da Vinci Code</i><br /></b><br />Welcome to the fabled Gold Coast, that stretch on the North Shore of Long Island that once held the greatest concentration of wealth and power in America. Here two men are destined for an explosive collision: John Sutter, Wall Street lawyer, holding fast to a fading aristocratic legacy; and Frank Bellarosa, the Mafia don who seizes his piece of the staid and unprepared Gold Coast like a latter-day barbarian chief and draws Sutter and his regally beautiful wife, Susan, into his violent world. Told from Sutter's sardonic and often hilarious point of view,<i> The Gold Coast</i> is Nelson DeMille's captivating story laced with sexual passion and suspense.
