Publisher's summary

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, 10 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, which had been the family home of his ex-wife, Susan Stanhope Sutter, 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, old passions begin to reignite, and John finds himself pulled deeper into a familiar web of seduction and betrayal.

In The Gate House, a book that is both a sequel to The Gold Coast as well as a suspenseful stand-alone novel, acclaimed author Nelson DeMille brings us back to that fabled spot on the North Shore - a place where past, present, and future collide with often unexpected results.

Vincent DeMille fan

Love his long twisty novels. This book was no exception. I like books that aren't the same old story.

Lovely sequel to The Gold Coast

DeMille did a great job with this story. Narration was superb as well. You're pulled back into a time after September 11 and once again into John Sutter's life as he deals with the events now 10 years in the past. Spends time with his ex-wife and the son of the man she killed and tries to deal with his horrid ex-inlaws. At least all is forgiven and the mafia has told him to forget about it, right?

Unbeatable

An all time favorite author of mine, great story line combined with an outstanding narrator.

Easy, entertaining, EPIC!

Great story and great narrating.The Gold Coast was first and was just as enjoyable. EPIC!

Delightful listen

I don't think anyone else could have done justice to The Gate House. Christian Rummel perfectly delivered Nelson DeMille's witt and sarcasm. The story line brought back so many memories of living not all that far away. Perhaps someday there will be a book 3.

Everything about this book is great.

It's a sequel but the author reminds you frequently of past events. Still, I think it would be best to read the Gold Coast first.

The narrator did an outstanding job!

I love this Book!!!

I loved this book and it's prequel! I would love to see another book like this from DeMille.

great follow up

loves it. awesome follow up to the gold coast. read that first. both worth your time

DeMille and Rummel a perfect combo!

“One martini, two martini, three martini, floor” left me in hysterics…

On a much-anticipated second listen, “The Gate House” continues from where “The Gold Coast” left off. Sometimes a laugh-out-loud book, I was excited that I discovered both Nelson DeMille and Christian Rummel. I can’t imagine anyone else narrating the John Sutter Series other than the brilliant Rummel. DeMille pens an outstanding and enjuoyable listen in Books 1 and 2. After listening to Book 1, “The Gold Coast,” I anxiously looked forward to Book 2, “The Gate House” and it was, once again, a winner throughout with an ending I never saw coming. Bam! Justified for sure and satisfaction guaranteed. I would be thrilled to see DeMille and Rummel work together on a Sutter Series Book 3. Highly recommended and well worth an Audible credit. Screaming from the rooftop, “Epic, I say! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC!” To top it off, “The Gate House” concludes with an in-depth interview with DeMille. Don’t miss it!

Hours too long

At times tended to be tedious. I much prefer his action novels. Would be hard for me to recommend
