Riley Brodin is the granddaughter of Walter Muehlenhaus—a
man as rich, powerful, and connected as anyone since the
days of J. P. Morgan. Despite her family’s connections, it’s
McKenzie she reaches out to when her relatively new
boyfriend goes missing. Despite his reservations about
getting involved with the Muehlenhaus family—again—Mac
McKenzie agrees to look for one Juan Carlos Navarre. What he
finds, though, is a man who appears to be a ghost.
The house—mansion, really—he told Riley he owned is actually
a rental, barely lived in and practically devoid of personal
effects. The restaurant he claimed to own is owned by
another and Navarre merely an investor. He apparently has no
friends, no traceable past, and McKenzie isn’t the only one
looking for him. Whoever Juan Carlos Navarre is and wherever
he’s gone, the one thing that is clear is that he’s trouble,
and is perhaps someone—as Riley’s family makes clear—better
out of the picture. Unfortunately for everyone, McKenzie
likes trouble and trouble likes him, in The Devil May Care
by David Housewright.
