Some children are abandoned. Others are stolen. The most terrifying truth is when no one can tell the difference.
When a nameless baby is discovered outside the gates of a long-abandoned children's hospital in London, Detective Inspector Evelyn Hart believes it's another heartbreaking case of child abandonment. But one small clue—a decades-old hospital wristband marked R-317—unlocks a mystery that should never have existed.
As Hart and her partner follow a trail of forgotten records, secret archives, and missing identities, they uncover chilling connections spanning the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia. Every clue points to a hidden network that has erased children's identities, forged birth records, concealed illegal adoptions, and buried the truth beneath decades of institutional silence.
The deeper they investigate, the more dangerous the conspiracy becomes. Powerful figures will do anything to protect the past, while anonymous threats, missing evidence, and long-forgotten witnesses reveal that the operation may never have ended.
With every revelation, the detectives must race against time to uncover the fate of countless missing children before history repeats itself once again.
