DANCING IN THE DARK
ISBN: 0312323158St. Martin's Press July 2005 New York Times bestselling author Mary Jane Clark turns up the heat with a drop-dead frightening novel about a town where teenage girls are disappearing, where an idyllic beach community is terrorized, and where one reporter must get to the truth to protect her family.… Trying to mix business with pleasure, KEY News correspondent Diane Mayfield has brought her children and her sister to the New Jersey shore town of Ocean Grove to investigate a story on “girls who cry wolf” for the season premiere of Hourglass, television’s highly rated news magazine. Diane lands an exclusive interview with a troubled young woman whose tale of being abducted and held against her will for three terrifying days had been disbelieved by the authorities. No sooner does Diane finish taping the interview, though, than a second victim disappears. The small community, already in the grip of a record heat wave, is now wracked by fear and terror -— no one knows who could be next. With only the first victim as eyewitness, Diane and the police turn to her for clues. But it may be too late to save Diane and her loved ones from the mortal danger that lurks in Ocean Grove. Full of twists, turns, and terrifyingly real danger, Dancing in the Dark is summer reading at its most suspenseful yet. With a Mary Jane Clark novel, every word is a clue. Praise "In this latest addition to her KEY News series, Clark demonstrates why she is such a popular author, telling a gripping story chock-full of edge-of-your-seat suspense. She juggles several plot lines with aplomb and uses just a few precise words to create complete portraits of each character. The tension is such that having begun the book, readers will not be able to put it down." --Library Journal
