Gold Coast by Nelson Demille

A witty, urbane narrator — an affluent Long Island attorney — finds his comfortably insulated suburban life upended when a charismatic, old-school mob boss moves into the Gold Coast; drawn by curiosity, envy and a taste for transgression, he forges a dangerous friendship that exposes the hypocrisy and brutality beneath his social circle’s polished surface, pulling him into moral compromise, escalating violence and unforeseen consequences.
