The Missing cover

A family outing turns into a nightmare when Greta's daughter and partner go missing. In The Missing, she must confront her darkest fears to uncover the truth.

In The Missing, an ordinary outing takes Greta, Alex, and their four-year-old daughter Smilla across Sweden’s mythical Lake Malice to a secluded island. While Alex and Smilla explore the trees, Greta remains in the boat, entranced by the lake's misty ambiance. However, when they do not return, her serene moment turns into a frantic search. Despite her efforts, they have vanished without a trace, leaving Greta in a state of confusion and fear.

As she grapples with their eerie disappearance, Greta feels an overwhelming need to contact Alex to ensure Smilla's safety. However, her cell phone is inexplicably missing, only to be discovered later hidden under the bedsheets in her cottage. This raises unsettling questions: Did she misplace it, or has someone invaded her space? The mystery deepens as she tries to piece together the events, leading her to fear that her past may be resurfacing, or that her grip on reality is slipping away.

This dark psychological thriller, The Missing, is filled with unexpected twists and heart-pounding moments. Greta must confront her hidden fears and secrets if she hopes to untangle the web of truth surrounding her family's disappearance. As the story unfolds, readers are taken on a chilling journey that questions the nature of reality and the lengths one will go to find loved ones.
