Welcome to the Gold Coast, that stretch on the North Shore of Long Island that once held the greatest concentration of wealth and power in America. Here two men are destined for an explosive collision: John Sutter, Wall Street lawyer, holding fast to a fading aristocratic legacy; and Frank Bellarosa, the Mafia don who seizes his piece of the staid and unprepared Gold Coast like a latter-day barbarian chief and draws Sutter and his regally beautiful wife, Susan, into his violent world. Told from Sutter's sardonic - and often hilarious - point of view, and laced with sexual passion and suspense, THE GOLD COAST is Nelson DeMille's captivating story of friendship and seduction, love and betrayal.

"Uproariously funny in spots and contains some of the kinkiest (married) sex in recent memory."
-Chicago Tribune
"AS ENTHRALLING A LOOK AT ORGANIZED CRIME AS THE GODFATHER, BUT HAS MORE HUMOR AND STYLE. DeMille is an original writer who avoids set formats, letting each book develop its own pace, style, and characters. He also believes in good conversation, and, as in The Charm School, the dialogue is so convincing that reading it is akin to eavesdropping."
-Orlando Sentinel
"DeMILLE'S NARRATIVE ENERGY IS UNFLAGGING, and there is something to hold the attention on every page as the book builds to its surprising but carefully prepared climax."
-Boston Globe
