The Deal [Paperback]

Everything about Jonah Gray screams success -movie-star good looks, expensive clothes, a Park Avenue penthouse, and a seven-figure income. A cutthroat, rainmaking New York city commercial real estate broker, Jonah craves opulence and power. He beds models, romps the globe on the weekends and sees the world as his for the taking. Jonah Gray has it all. Or at least he had it all. When a friend presents Jonah with the deal of a lifetime, Jonah jumps at the chance. All Jonah has to do is act quickly, invest half a billion dollars in prime NY office buildings, and collect a huge payoff. But this golden opportunity is anything but. Within days of signing on, Jonah is mysteriously thrust into the epicenter of an international and personal scandal. Forced to explore a whole new territory where he can trust no one, and where danger, death and deception lurk at every corner, Jonah will learn some painfully hard lessons about the quest for easy money. Closing this deal could mean losing everything.A cutthroat, rainmaking real estate executive, Jonah Gray has it all.Or at least he had it all until a friend presents Jonah with the deal of a lifetime.Real estate is all about location, location, location. But this deal is about deception, duplicity, and death.Combines the chemical excesses of Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho with a John Grisham-style plot, and it has an art-crime subplot reminiscent of Dan Brown's The da Vinci Code.
