Untouchable / by Lawson, Michael,1948-author.;
"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 former Speaker of the House John Mahoney 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, DC, 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"--

They always join Jillian for the month of August, when the family throws a lavish garden party on the expansive lawn that is attended by nearly one hundred guests. This year's guests include Everette Bruce, an influential Black billionaire, still in mourning for his first wife, Chloe, who committed suicide. To the imperious Jillian's surprise, Bruce ignores her and instead becomes enchanted with Angel. Eager to get away from the controlling Mrs. Harrison, Angel accepts Everett's invitation to become the private chef at Riverwild, his massive mansion along the Potomac River. Her meals and company provide comfort Everett, and soon he and Angel begin a whirlwind romance that culminates in marriage. Though Angel is confident and strong, over time, she begins to feel the enigmatic Chloe's ghost. The house's staff, the head housekeeper Ida--a menacingly rigid thorn in Angel's side--and even Everett, cannot seem to let the dead woman go, nor explain why the wealthy, stunning woman would kill herself. The more questions Angel asks, the more melancholic Everett becomes, revealing a far less charming side of himself. Just how well does Angel know Everett? Did she marry in haste? The answers lie somewhere in Riverwild ... "--
