  At 12:07, She Vanished By Anna John Book Description At exactly 12:07 a.m., Maya Cole vanished without a trace. Her apartment was locked from the inside. Her phone lay untouched on the table. The security cameras showed no one entering or leaving. It was as if she had disappeared into thin air. But just minutes before she vanished, Maya sent her younger sister, Elena, one final message: “If anything happens to me, don't trust the person who finds me.” At first, Elena believes her sister has been kidnapped. But as the police investigate, strange details begin to emerge. Maya had been secretly investigating a woman's disappearance from seven years earlier, a case that was supposedly solved. Then Maya's phone comes alive again. Someone is sending messages from her number. Someone who knows Elena's secrets. Someone who seems to know what happened that night. As Elena follows the clues, she discovers that the people closest to her sister have been hiding terrible truths. Every suspect has a motive, every alibi has a weakness, and every answer leads to another question. But the most disturbing clue is the one Elena cannot explain: a connection between Maya's disappearance and a night from Elena's own childhood that she can barely remember. Why did Maya disappear at 12:07? Who is sending the messages? And what if the person Elena trusts most is the one she should fear?
