Keep Your Friends Close, But Your Enemies Closer. Capisce?
This is another great piece of writng by DeMille. At first I found myself a little disappointed because the story line seemed to drag with the rich history of the Gold Coast described in detail.
But the story got much better and DeMille's words flowed easily through ...

The Gate House
Nelson DeMille
Hachette Audio, 2008
Gatehouse by Nelson Demille
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.
