"The first deep-dive narrative by a veteran journalist covering the King
of Pop's convoluted final years on earth . . . [Untouchable] helps
cast Jackson in a new light."--Los Angeles Times
"A dishy Michael Jackson biography that makes the exhaustively covered
King of Pop fascinating all over again."--People
"A tale of family, fame, lost childhood, and startling accusations never
heard before."--ABC Nightline
Delivering exclusive information and a compelling psychological
portrait, Untouchable is the story of Michael Jackson from his boy
idol childhood to the final four-year odyssey of his tumultuous adult
life. Beginning with his last departure from Neverland, Sullivan
captures Jackson's final years shuttling around the world, and plans to
recapture his wealth and reputation with a comeback album and planned
series of fifty mega-concerts. Sullivan delves deep into Jackson's past,
depicting a man both naive and deeply cunning, a devoted father whose
parenting decisions created international outcry, a shrewd businessman
whose failures nearly brought down a megacorporation, and an inveterate
narcissist who desperately wanted a quiet, normal life. Sullivan has
never-before-reported information about Jackson's business dealings, the
pedophilia allegations that besmirched his reputation, and the fate of
his billion-dollar-plus estate, and exclusive access to inner-circle
figures including Jackson's former attorneys and managers. Untouchable
is a remarkable portrait of the man who still reigns as King of Pop.
"Randall Sullivan more than tells the story of Michael Jackson--he
relives it. . . . Sullivan leaves few stones unturned."--The Daily
Beast
