Giveaway! The Gate House

Thanks once again to Valerie @ Hachette, we have five copies of The Gate House by Nelson DeMille to give away!

The synopsis:
When John Sutter's aristocratic wife killed her mafia don lover, John left America and set out in his sailboat on a three-year journey around the world, eventually settling in London. Now, ten years later, he has come home to the Gold Coast, that stretch of land on the North Shore of Long Island that once held the greatest concentration of wealth and power in America, to attend the imminent funeral of an old family servant. Taking up temporary residence in the gatehouse of Stanhope Hall, John finds himself living only a quarter of a mile from Susan who has also returned to Long Island. But Susan isn't the only person from John's past who has reemerged: Though Frank Bellarosa, infamous Mafia don and Susan's ex-lover, is long dead, his son, Anthony, is alive and well, and intent on two missions: Drawing John back into the violent world of the Bellarosa family, and exacting revenge on his father's murderer--Susan Sutter. At the same time, John and Susan's mutual attraction resurfaces and old passions begin to reignite, and John finds himself pulled deeper into a familiar web of seduction and betrayal. In THE GATE HOUSE, acclaimed author Nelson Demille brings us back to that fabled spot on the North Shore -- a place where past, present, and future collides with often unexpected results.

I read the mafia inclusion in the synopsis and could not wait. I have a big thing for mafia stories. True crime, Jackie Collins, whatever. Throw in a little Sopranos/ Godfather action and I'm hooked. We'll run this contest through Black Friday. I'll be staying in with the doors locked that day so this will give me something to do :).
I'm going to make this contest followers only again. US and Canada only, no PO Boxes. To enter, leave a comment telling me your favorite Mafia story/movie whathaveyou.
