The Disappearance by J.F. Freedman

 The Disappearance -- A fourteen-year-old girl disappears from her bedroom and eight days later, her body is discovered.  Despite the efforts of her wealthy and influential father, the culprit remains unknown.

A year later, a family friend is arrested (in what seemed an obvious set-up, at least to me).  An outraged community wants justice, but Luke Garrison, a former D.A. with his own demons, finally agrees to take the case.  

Lots of red herrings in this one and lots of secrets to uncover.  I didn't particularly warm to the protagonist, Luke Garrison.  I read with interest, but ultimately wasn't quite satisfied, even though the guilty party was not someone I suspected.
