Gerard F. Bianco was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Smoky pool halls, Irish bars, and Italian social clubs are some of the local hangouts that have influenced his writing.

Gerard and Lynnelle Bianco are the owners of Porte4 - Fine Jewelry and Ornamentations. Located in The Old Port section of beautiful Portland, Maine, they run the store together with Gerard the jewelry expert and Lynnelle focusing on the business and the non-jewelry inventory.

In addition to jewelry, Gerard is also passionate about art. He studied at the Art Students League, School of Visual Arts and Parsons School of Art. Gerard's work has been represented by a number of fine art galleries and among his many commissions are those from the United States Navy, Placido Domingo (VCR jacket) and Merrill Lynch. Indeed, Gerard's approach to jewelry design is that of an artist's as you will see when you visit their website or the store in Portland.

In New York City, women with red hair are being brutally murdered. Detective William Gillette and his team are on the case, but they remain clueless until a curious stranger proposes a series of tempting deals—an exchange of sorts—that will help solve the crimes.

Gillette accepts the offer and plunges into the game. One deal after the next, he draws closer to the killer. But each deal comes with a price. Soon the detective finds himself in a dark hole—one he can’t get out of without striking the ultimate deal. Is the Deal Master Gillette’s savior—or his worst nightmare?

The Deal Master is a horror thriller, a psychological thriller, a who-done-it, and a wonderful mystical thriller all rolled into one. It will grab you and take you for a haunting ride, twisting and turning beyond murder and betrayal, past seduction and desire, and straight on through to its shocking ending.
