Told through a chorus of urgent voices—his mother Maria, a bystander named Sam, a conflicted detention guard, and the cold architect of it all—this novel exposes the personal cost of dehumanization and the machinery that makes it possible. Disappeared is not just a political thriller; it's a devastating portrait of state violence, radical resistance, and the fragile, messy ways people fight to reclaim hope.
