The Night Of The Disappearance - She used to tell me everything. They have a picture. It'll help. But it doesn't show the way her hair shines so brightly it looks like sheets of gold. She has a tiny mole, just beneath her left eyebrow. She smells very faintly of lemons. She bites her nails. She never cries. She loves autumn, I wanted to tell them. She collects leaves, like a child does. She is just a child. Find her. One year later - Naomi is still missing. Jenny is a mother on the brink of obsession. The Malcolm family is in pieces. Is finding the truth about Naomi the only way to put them back together? Or is the truth the thing that will finally tear them apart?

Jenny è un medico, sposata con un famoso neurochirurgo e madre di tre adolescenti. Ma quando la figlia quindicenne, Naomi, non fa ritorno a casa dopo scuola, la vita perfetta che Jenny credeva di essersi costruita va in pezzi. Le autorità lanciano l'allarme e parte una campagna nazionale per cercare la ragazza, ma senza successo: Naomi è scomparsa nel nulla e la famiglia è distrutta. I mesi passano e le ipotesi peggiori, rapimento, omicidio, diventano sempre più plausibili, ma in mancanza di indizi significativi l'attenzione sul caso si affievolisce. Jenny però non si arrende. A un anno dalla sparizione della figlia, sta ancora cercando la verità, anche se ogni rivelazione, ogni tassello sembra allontanarla dalle certezze che aveva. Presto capisce che le persone di cui si fidava nascondono terribili segreti, Naomi per prima. Seguendo le flebili tracce che la ragazza ha lasciato dietro di sé, Jenny si accorgerà che sua figlia è molto diversa dalla ragazza che pensava di aver cresciuto...
