A murder in the Dead Letter Room. A stolen identity. And a secret someone is willing to kill to protect. When postal employee Rachel Everett is found murdered inside a Dead Letter Room, Amelia Baron is once again drawn into an investigation where nothing is quite what it seems. Rachel had discovered something hidden among the undeliverable mail—something involving registered letters, birth certificates, and the names of children who may not be where they're supposed to be. Then Amelia learns one of those names belongs to Rachel's eight-year-old son. But Raymond Everett is safe at home. So why is someone else using his identity? As Amelia follows a trail through the postal system, youth programs, and people who seem eager to help, the case grows far beyond one woman's murder. Someone has learned how to exploit the very systems designed to protect children—and every answer Amelia uncovers leads to another question. Someone is watching. Someone knows where she lives. And this time, the warning is personal. To find the truth, Amelia will have to follow the chain before another child disappears—and discover just how much can be stolen from a person without taking a single thing they can hold. Names can be stolen. Childhoods can be stolen. Even trust can be stolen. But some things refuse to stay lost.
