Description



Book Synopsis



Kate Burkholder investigates a gruesome murder and uncovers a dark chapter of Amish history in this riveting installment of Linda Castillo's Edgar award winning series.

Newlywed Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is awakened by an urgent midnight call summoning her to a suspicious fire in the woods. When she arrives at the scene, she discovers the charred body of an Amish man named Milan Swanz, who had been burned alive. The Amish are reluctant to speak about Swanz, who had recently been excommunicated, and Kate is left wondering: Are they protecting the memory of one of their own? Or are they afraid of something else?

When her brother is implicated in the case and Kate's own life is threatened, the investigation takes a violent and personal turn. To uncover the truth, Kate must dive deep into Amish culture and uncover a secret legacy that shatters everything she thought she knew about her community.
