Adam Gittlin’s The Deal featured in the New York Post

The Deal by Adam Gittlin has been featured in a recent article in the New York Post ("Novel Approach - Broker's steamy story of NYC deals,” May 20, 2008)

According to NY Post writer Lois Weiss "To get some insight into the heady world of commercial real estate deal making, try the fast summer read The Deal." 

In The Deal (Oceanview, ISBN: 978-1-933515-13-7, $24.95) Gittlin, a commercial real estate executive in New York, introduces Jonah Gray. 

Everything about Jonah Gray screams success – 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 Andreu Zhamosvky, a close family friend, presents him 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 NYC office buildings, and collect a huge payoff.

But all that glitters is not gold and 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.

Taking risks has been the hallmark of Jonah’s career. But this time, the stakes are much, much higher and Jonah will put everything – and everyone – he loves at risk. Closing this deal could mean losing it all.

Intricate, edgy and intense, The Deal moves faster than a prime property in a hot market.  According to Robert Dugoni, New York Times best-selling author of The Jury Master, “Gittlin is one to watch.”

Susan Greger, Publisher at Oceanview, commented, “We are pleased to announce the release of The Deal. Adam Gittlin has crafted a superb thriller about money, love, betrayal, and murder, set against the backdrop of the New York commercial real estate world. The Deal is a fresh, fast, and fascinating novel.”
