Reviews

"Jonah Gray, the New York real-estate dealer who spent many years living abroad under an assumed identity ( The Deal , 2008), is back in NYC. He's putting together some very big, very expensive deals, but when the body of a murdered man is found in one of his buildings, Jonah suspects it's not a coincidence. And when an old friend shows up unexpectedly, asking Jonah to broker some real-estate transactions, Jonah is convinced that he hasn't left his past behind him, after all. Although the writing is less sure-handed than in the previous novels in the series, the story is well constructed and suspenseful. Fans of financial thrillers should enjoy this one." Booklist

"A smart, complex plot that occasionally stretches credulity yet he crams enough into the mystery that readers will feel compelled to stay on the fast-paced ride." New Jersey Star-Ledger

"At the outset of Gittlin's racy, fast-paced third Jonah Gray novel (after 2014's The Deal: About Face ), power broker Jonah is enjoying his fame as the head of one of the hottest boutique real estate firms in Manhattan. But all is not well. Perry York, his business partner and the love of his life, is slipping into a world of alcohol and pills, and Jonah is suffering unbearable guilt for the trauma he put Perry through while they were on the run in Europe in the previous book. To add to their woes, a security guard is found dead (possibly murdered) in one of their buildings, and a security breach threatens to cost them a major client. Worst of all, European commercial real estate mogul Cobus de Bont, "one of the most corrupt, wanted men on the planet" to whom Jonah owes a lot, demands that Jonah and Perry acquire some properties for him. The plot takes some unexpected turns before reaching the satisfying if open-ended conclusion." Publishers Weekly

"Power Broker Jonah Gray is home. But does that mean Amsterdam, or New York City? Will he be Ivan Janse or Jonah Gray? One thing is certainJonah, as always, is steeled to get where he needs to go. This time around, the stakes couldn't be higher. Someone from Jonah's past is back in a big way. Jonah has been strong-armed into using his knowledge of the business of skyscrapers to assist in a nefarious, global scheme -- and failure, as has been made clear, is simply not an option. There are monstrous deals and piles of cash to be made. There are reputations (even lives) to be lost. Facing the horrors of the past, Jonah's own demons start to encroach as Perry, the woman he loves, seems to sink deeper and deeper into drugs and/or insanity. Jonah could be cracking under stress just as he needs maximum focus. He has always been able to call up his resolute strength of character and it's never been needed more than now. Jonah is in for the fight of his life. Not just for himself, and not just for Perry, but for an entire industry.Another terrific read from the mind and imagination of Adam Gittlin, Deal Master is an original and riveting read from beginning to end. Very highly recommended for community library General Fiction collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists that Deal Master is also available in a Kindle edition." Midwest Book Review

"Fame, fortune, loss, and redemption, it's an age-old story told here in an innovative way. Sharp as a piece of broken glass, the plot is snappy and entertaining, the tension steadily ratcheted up with nothing less than pedal-to-the-metal pacing. This is a winner." Steve Berry , New York Times & International best-selling author of The Patriot Threat

"I loved The Deal , The Deal: About Face was even better, but Deal Master is Gittlin's best yet. Sophisticated, page-turning intrigue packed with high drama, the MASTER rules." Robert Dugoni , New York Times best-selling author of My Sister's Grave

"Gittlin's at it again--and Deal Master is his best yet. What Grisham and Turow did with the legal realm, Gittlin is doing for the intense world of high-end commercial real estate. Artfully, skillfully, showing thriller readers that when you take the power-business of skyscrapers and blend it with loyalty, power, revenge, and murder--you get one sexy, sophisticated thrill ride." David Black , award-winning journalist, screenwriter, and author of Fast Shuffle

" Deal Master delivers. A slick, slithery, cool-as-can-be thriller about the world of big money, big-time real estate, and the bigger than life characters who play the game. It's express elevator entertainment that will pick you up on the first page and rocket you right to the top of the skyscraper. Don't miss it." William Martin, New York Times best-selling author of City of Dreams and The Lincoln Letter
