Henry Parker #6
The Invited
Librarian note: "The Invited" was announced but never published.
The higher the society, the farther the fall.
Intelligence Mercenary Henry Parker gets big bucks for piecing together truth from the wreckage of major scandals. He’s not the same kid chasing similar stories for less money as a journalist. He’s wiser now, a bit older. But is he ready for this gilded new world?
$50,000 is nothing to fashion empire LaChappelle Industries. Their founder dead alongside a much younger woman in a hotel room murder-suicide: that’s something. Something they need understood, so they’ll pay Henry’s fee.
From grieving family members to gossiping corporate drones, everyone has a different story about Mr. LaChappelle. When one of those stories leads Henry to the upper-crust’s monthly Mating Parties, the sexual habits of the wealthiest New Yorkers are suddenly the crime scene.
This is a world where loose lips sink yachts, where dollar signs anchor morals, and where decadence is only wrong if you can’t afford it.
