On the night of a lavish party celebrating newlyweds Doug Alexander Campbell Smith, tragedy strikes when the thirteen-year-old son of an influential senator is kidnapped. The senator--Doug's mentor-- urges Cam, an attorney to track the boy down. It is an offer she cannot refuse.
With a circle of ambition closing in tightly around her, Cam penetrates layer upon layer of lies and invention. Suddenly she is forced to question her loyalties, her marriage, even the man she thought she loved. As she pieces together an intricate pattern of abuse and cover-up, as a series of brutal murders looms ever closer, Cam discovers that everyone has something to hide--especially herself. . . .

"Out of Order" - written by Bonnie MacDougal and published in 1999 by Ballantine Books. A great romance and political mystery.

This was a very slow moving book - It also involved a lot of politics rather then a good page turning mystery. It did have some interest moments toward the end
