THE GOLD COAST

Fallen on bad times, attorney John Sutter and his wife, Susan Stanhope Sutter, struggle to keep Stanhope Hall and their fragile hold on the lifestyle to which they are heir. To return a favor, John is asked to defend Frank "the Bishop" Bellarosa in a murder trial. If Sutter accepts, he risks losing his reputation. Author DeMille creates a powerful and devasting study of how moral choices are never what they appear to be.
