false 3216451 18 #1 <EM>New York Times</EM> bestselling author Nelson DeMille delivers the long-awaited follow-up to his classic novel <EM>The Gold Coast</EM>. <BR><BR>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. 3887843 28 10 2008 The Gate House total:1252|5:12|4:35|3:33|2:16|1:7| 1252 4243 1853 374 3216451 0446533424 9780446533423 1197 355 3.39 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1213325483m/3216451.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3216451.The_Gate_House 1 4 false Sat Dec 06 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Oct 18 21:48:42 -0700 2008 Sat Dec 06 19:47:42 -0800 2008 Gold Coast.
