Im Dezember 1926 wird Agatha Christie vermisst. Ermittler finden ihr leeres Auto am Rande eines tiefen, dusteren Teichs, darin ihr Pelzmantel – ungewohnlich fur eine eisige Nacht. Ihr Ehemann, ein Veteran des Ersten Weltkriegs, und ihre Tochter wissen nicht, wo sie sich aufhalt, und England lost eine beispiellose Fahndung nach der Krimiautorin aus. Elf Tage spater taucht sie wieder auf, genauso mysterios, wie sie verschwunden war. Sie behauptet, an Amnesie gelitten zu haben, und gibt keine Erklarung fur ihre Abwesenheit ab. Bis heute wei? niemand, was damals geschah. Marie Benedict erzahlt die Geschichte einer zunachst glucklichen Ehe, die jedoch mehr und mehr zerbricht, je erfolgreicher Agatha wird. Welche Rolle spielte ihr untreuer Ehemann, und was hat er den Ermittlern verschwiegen? Agatha Christies Verschwinden ist vielleicht ihr spannendster Fall. Marie Benedict liefert eine erschreckend plausible Losung.
