The Disappearers: A Novel by Marlon James is a literary crime novel set in Kingston, Jamaica, in 988. Eight gay men meet for the first time after answering a casting call for an openly queer play. Although they come from different backgrounds, they share the danger of living openly as gay men in a society that largely refuses to accept them.

During a rehearsal, a violent mob attacks the group. One man is killed and the others are injured. As the survivors recover, they each respond differently to the hatred and violence exposed by the attack. Some attempt to move on, others seek revenge, and some eventually disappear. The novel follows their individual journeys while gradually exploring the consequences of the attack and the secrets surrounding those who vanished.

Blending crime fiction, literary fiction, Caribbean history, and queer storytelling, James explores identity, violence, desire, friendship, shame, rage, survival, and acceptance. The novel is also a portrait of queer Jamaican life during the 980s and 990s, told through multiple voices and perspectives.
