The Dark of Day Barbara Parker Unabridged edition

A young woman vanishes from a celebrity studded party on South Beach. The media descend, and the spotlight threatens to reveal the secret past of a high profile criminal defense attorney. C. J. Dunn is an expert at spinning her clients image in the media. Shes the perfect lawyer to deflect police interest in Rick Slater, head of security for Bob Shelby, a U. S. Congress man from Miami. Slater was seen at a South Beach party with the recently vanished Alana Martin, but in election season, any hint of scandal could doom the Congressmans chances. C. J. has reasons not to like Slaters boss, but if she succeeds, friends of the Congressman have assured her they can arrange a spot for her as a legal commentator on a national media outlet. For a woman living alone, with few close friends, a celebrity life has its appeal. But as the media close in, hounding everyone connected to the case, C. J. finds connections she had never anticipated.
