Thirty-five years ago, twelve-year-old Billy Fisher rode back to a St. Louis baseball field to retrieve his new glove-and never came home.
His bicycle was found beside the fence. The glove was gone. Despite an exhaustive search, no trace of Billy was ever discovered, leaving his family trapped between hope and grief.
Now, a demolition crew tearing down an abandoned warehouse makes a horrifying discovery: two skeletons concealed behind a concrete-block wall. One belongs to an adult man. The other is a child found beside the remains of a deteriorated baseball glove.
Detective Sergeant Mick Callahan and Detective Darius Coleman are assigned to the case. What begins as an effort to identify two forgotten victims soon leads them back to Billy's disappearance and a mystery that has haunted St. Louis for more than three decades.
As the detectives reconstruct the victims' final hours, they uncover altered records, illegal gambling, blackmail, hidden evidence, and witnesses who have spent thirty-five years protecting their secrets. Somewhere among them is a killer who built a respected life while two victims remained entombed behind a warehouse wall.
The deeper Callahan and Coleman dig, the more they realize Billy was not simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. He trusted the person responsible for taking him there.
And the forgotten glove may be the key to exposing everything.
The Forgotten Baseball Glove is Book 5 in From the Files of the St. Louis Police Homicide Division, a gripping cold-case murder mystery about buried evidence, misplaced trust, and a family's decades-long search for the truth.
