Vanished

Vanished by Knebel, Fletcher. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780385059671.

The Greer case hit the front pages of the national press and stayed there, as rumors, speculations, accusations, and bizarre plots were paraded before a puzzled public. How could a man like Stephen Greer - extremely prominent Washington attorney and close friend of the President - simply vanish without a trace? And if it was by his own volition - why? Many "insiders" were convinced it was a case of embezzlement and flight to a foreign sanctuary, others saw a sordid homosexual alliance. But to a few Washington professionals, a pattern began to emerge that suggested defection. With a Presidential election coming up, any one of these answers could be politically disastrous to the President. And that might or might not have something to do with why the CIA was specifically excluded from the case, and why an FBI agent and an especially diligent newspaperman suddenly disappeared.
