Jeho práce se vyznačuje pronikavým reportérským stylem a schopností odhalovat skryté mechanismy fungování privilegovaných kruhů, ať už se jedná o luxusní nemovitosti, umělecké instituce nebo módní průmysl. Gross zkoumá, jak jsou tyto světy formovány penězi, ambicemi a společenskými normami, a nabízí čtenářům fascinující pohled do zákulisí elit, které často zůstávají skryty před zraky veřejnosti. Jeho próza je obratná, detailní a často nekompromisní ve svém odhalování.
