Book description
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, the 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. Nelson DeMille is one of America's most
popular and bestselling authors, and a new book from him is a keenly
awaited event. A former US Army lieutenant who served in Vietnam, he is
the author of twelve acclaimed novels. He lives in Long Island, New
York.
