Untouchable

In the latest pulse-pounding thriller from Edgar and Barry Award finalist Mike Lawson, beloved Washington DC "troubleshooter" Joe DeMarco finds himself assigned an impossible case: help take down the President of the United States.

Brandon Cartwright was a rich guy worth a couple billion bucks--inherited, of course--meaning he hadn't worked a day in his life. But he sure knew how to party, and the people he partied with were all sorts of rich and famous: politicians and movie stars and British royalty and Russian oligarchs. So, when Brendan Cartwright is executed in his own home, no one is surprised to learn he had enemies.

But when John Mahoney, the former Speaker of the House, emerges from a clandestine meeting with evidence that suggests that the President of the United States somehow was involved with Cartwright's death, he needs someone who can investigate from the shadows. Naturally, he puts Joe DeMarco on the case.

Joe DeMarco is no stranger to hunting down some of the very worst people Washington D.C. has to offer. In fact, he's made a career of it. But as evidence continues to point towards the President, DeMarco is faced with an impossible situation: investigating a man who is quite literally untouchable.
