Publisher Description
#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.
Customer Reviews
The Gare House
The Gold Coast and Gate House are two of my all time favorite books. And, Nelson DeMille is one of my five top authors. This is the second time I’ve read both books. Actually, this time it was audio. The reader was simply fantastic. He sounded like John Sutter and crew just like he should, which made the audio version so much more enjoyable. Of the two books, I probably liked the Gate House better because its conclusion was definitive and positive.
Not woke
The main character was extremely racist, bigoted and stereotyped everything and everyone. This was extremely difficult to listen to, I stopped a few chapters in. My husband constantly side eyed me about the narrative the main character made about race, illegals, women, servants, etc. In our current social and political climate, this book lands on its face. Never mind the dragging, seemingly non existent storyline.
