The Missing

Feather is shocked when police write off the death of a girl in her town as suicide. When Feather’s friend Mia vanishes, Mia's mom and abusive stepfather paint Mia as a frequent runaway so the authorities won't investigate her disappearance. Everyone knows Native girls are disappearing and being killed but no one is connecting the dots. What Feather doesn't know is that the serial killer who has taken Mia has become obsessed with Feather and her investigation is leading her into danger. Set against the reality of ongoing unsolved cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women, this fictional thriller set in Winnipeg explores one teenager's response to a system that has long denied and misrepresented the problem.
