A child was declared dead. Forty-five years later, someone is still willing to kill to keep her erased.

Agent Gabriel Foster works for the Historical Crimes Division, where old files often lead to crimes everyone else has stopped trying to solve. But when an anonymous envelope appears inside his locked federal office, Gabriel finds more than a forgotten case.

Inside is the name of a child.

Rachel Fenton.

Six days old. Recorded dead in 1982. No independent autopsy. No clear grave. No answers.

The file leads Gabriel to Our Lady of Comfort, a clinic for unwed mothers where frightened girls were silenced, babies were reduced to numbers, and records were protected by men who knew how to make a life disappear on paper.

But Rachel's name was not destroyed.

Someone preserved it.

Someone risked everything to place it in Gabriel's hands.

Now Gabriel and Claire Lawson must follow a trail of hidden records, dying witnesses, sealed evidence, courtroom danger, and institutional corruption before the last proof is buried forever.

Because finding the truth is not enough.

The truth has to survive the law.

And the people who erased Rachel Fenton are still watching.

The Erased Child is a clean Christian crime suspense novel for readers who enjoy evidence-driven cold cases, legal suspense, buried records, hidden institutional corruption, faith-threaded danger, and stories where justice for the forgotten comes at a cost.
