Product Description
#1 EMNew York Times/EM bestselling author Nelson DeMille delivers the long-awaited follow-up to his classic novel EMThe Gold Coast/EM. BRBRWhen 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.

 Demille November 23, 2008
William K. Samboy (Long Island,NY, USA)
Nelson DeMille is one of the most prolific writers of the century. I have just recently started to read his works and I can not stop. The Gate House is the sequel to his novel Gold Coast . I find The Gate House just as enjoyable as DeMille's other novels that follow the life and adventures of a NYC Detective John Corey. These include, Plum Island, The Lions Game; Night Fall; Wild Fire. I have just recently been turned on to Nelson DeMille and highly recommend any of his works. I would love to see a film version of any one of the John Corey sequels with Bruce Willis as John Corey.
 Another disappointed DeMille fan.. November 22, 2008
Karen Teeley (S. Walpole, MA)
I wish I had read these reviews before wasting my time on this new, long awaited novel. I was disappointed too, in WildFire (2007) and thought that this would be DeMille's come-back novel. I have read all of his novels and REALLY miss the likes of "May Day", "The General's Daughter", or "Night Fall". Most of his stories are the best I have ever read... and until last year, he never let me down. Even if you are a big fan of "The Gold Coast" don't waste your time on this one.

I generally like books by this author, but this one is not very good. Weak and extremely bloated story, filled with redundant sarcasm, and self-absorbed characters, makes for an ardorous read.
Abridged audiobook - Poor reader-monotone voice November 22, 2008
Louise Bono (Central Fl.)
I haven't been able to get through the first cd. The reader Christian Rummel is awful. I wonder if DeMille is aware how bad he is. Can I return this audio because of this? I cannot conceive listening to this unpleasant voice for 9 1/2 hours.

All I needed to know before buying his book was that Nelson Demille wrote it. No one will be disaappointed. I haven't finished the novel, but the typically brilliant wit of Demille is certainly needed during the difficult times our country is experiencing.
