Book Description
It was a dark and stormy night as the carriage rattled along the narrow, winding road leading to Blackwater Castle. The driver held the reins tightly, trying to steer the horses through the driving rain and the howling wind. Inside the carriage, the young bride-to-be, Evelyn, clutched her diamond necklace, thoughts racing through her mind. Was she making a terrible mistake? Marrying Lord Blackwater, a man she barely knew, in a remote, foreboding castle? The carriage finally pulled up to the entrance of Blackwater Castle, the imposing gate creaking open to reveal the dark, looming structure. Evelyn shivered, her breath catching in her throat as she stepped out and hurried up the stone steps to the front doors. The heavy wooden doors swung open, revealing the dimly lit interior of the castle. A group of servants, their faces haggard and tired, ushered Evelyn inside. "Welcome to Blackwater Castle, my lady," one of the servants said, her voice soft and barely audible over the howling wind outside. Evelyn forced a smile, trying to mask her unease. "Thank you," she replied, her voice trembling. "Is Lord Blackwater here to greet me?" The servants exchanged glances, their eyes clouded with an unspoken fear. "Lord Blackwater will join you at dinner, my lady," another servant said, bowing slightly. "In the meantime, please make yourself comfortable in your chambers."

Book Description
The investigative biography of Michael Jackson’s final years: “A tale of family, fame, lost childhood, and startling accusations never heard before” (ABC Nightline). When Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009, millions of fans around the world were shocked. But the outpouring of emotion that followed his loss was bittersweet. Dogged by scandal for years and undone by financial mismanagement, Jackson had become untouchable in many quarters. Untouchable pulls back the curtain Jackson’s public person to introduce a man who, despite his immense fame, spent his entire life utterly alone; who, in the wake of a criminal trial that left him briefly hospitalized, abandoned Neverland to wander the globe before making one final—and fatal—attempt to recover his wealth and reputation. The Jackson that emerges in these pages is both naïve and cunning, a devoted father whose parenting became an international scandal, a shrewd businessman whose failures nearly brought down a megacorporation, and an inveterate narcissist who craved a quiet, normal life. Randall Sullivan delivers never-before-reported information about Jackson’s business dealings, his relationship with his family, and the pedophilia allegations that derailed his life and mar his legacy today, as well as the suspicious nature of his death. Based on exclusive access to Jackson’s inner circle, Untouchable is an intimate, unflinching portrait of the man who continues to reign as the King of Pop. “A dishy Michael Jackson biography that makes the exhaustively covered King of Pop fascinating all over again.” —People
