A JOE DEMARCO THRILLER
By Mike Lawson
A RIVETING AND REALISTIC POLITICAL THRILLER
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
SUMMARY
The Washington, D.C., troubleshooter Joe DeMarco is assigned an impossible task. Without their knowledge, DeMarco must investigate the President of the United States and his National Security Advisor for their association with the ultra-rich mega-doner Brendon Cartwright.
Cartwright, worth billions, is known for hosting lavish parties attended by wealthy politicians, movie stars, British royalty, and Russian oligarchs where anything goes. Recently, Cartwright was indicted for sex trafficking a minor at one of his parties. Before his trial could commence, he fell victim to a military-style execution, and his ten-thousand-square-foot home was ransacked.
Shortly after Cartwright’s death, an archivist at the National Archives discovers a shocking note on the back page of a draft of a presidential speech. The note suggested that the president might know something about Cartwright’s death. When John Mahoney, the former Speaker of the House, is shown the note, he immediately calls Joe DeMarco to discreetly investigate whether Cartwright had been blackmailing the President.
REVIEW
Untouchable is a riveting and scarily realistic thriller with an unforgettable cast of characters. Joe DeMarco, as always is intriguing and fascinating. I was delighted to see the savvy and super-smart retired DIA agent Emma again joining forces with DeMarco and his stealth investigation.
Author Mike Lawson’s writing cleverly weaves gut-wrenching suspense and wry humor with great pacing. His conclusion is stunning but immensely satisfying. Overall, it is an exceptional read for lovers of action-packed political thrillers.
I received an advance reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
