The Gold Coast

The upmarket and salubrious area of Long Island is the stamping ground for a dying breed of America's super-rich. It is also the residence of John Sutter, lawyer — very top-drawer, old money, right clubs — and his sensual wife, Susan. Their lives are about to be turned dramatically upside down by their new 'next-door' neighbour — a certain Mr Frank Bellarosa, top Mafia don and master manipulator. It is he who will impress upon them a rule much older than the archaic etiquette of the old-money: a favour accepted is a favour owed.

Nelson DeMille's The Gold Coast stands as a modern thriller classic — a stylish, compelling and provocative novel that will grip readers from beginning to end.
