Darkroom by Mary Maddox

Talented but unstable photographer Day Randall has been living in Kelly Durrell’s Colorado condo for eight months. Day needs someone to keep an eye on her. Kelly needs someone to draw her out of her stable but unspectacular life. The arrangement works for both of them.

Then Kelly comes home one day to find Day gone. No note, no phone call. Day’s car is parked out front, but her room is suspiciously spotless.

The police aren’t interested in a missing bipolar artist, but Kelly knows something is wrong. Day wouldn’t just leave.

Alone, Kelly traces Day’s steps through shadowy back rooms of Boulder nightclubs and to a remote mountain estate, where the wealthy live behind electric fences and armed guards, and uncovers an underworld of powerful people who will do anything to protect the secrets hidden in Day’s photographs.

If she trusts the wrong person, Kelly will be the next to disappear.
