A missing child is a nightmare to all parents, and never more so than in the Amish community, where family ties run deep. When the search for a presumed runaway turns up a dead body, the case quickly becomes a murder investigation. And chief of Police Kate Burkholder knows that in order to solve this case she will have to call upon everything she has to give not only as a cop, but as a woman whose own Amish roots run deep.
Kate and state agent, John Tomasetti, delve into the lives of the missing teens and discover links to cold cases that may go back years. But will Kate piece together all the parts of this sinister puzzle in time to save the missing teen and the Amish community from a devastating fate? Or will she find herself locked in a fight to the death with a merciless killer?
This is book four in the Kate Burkholder Amish Crime series. This is not a gentle/inspirational Amish novel. It is a gritty, violent and a suspenseful page turner. I enjoyed Kate and John's developing relationship while working a case that baffles them and take a couple of twists. It helps to read the first book to understand Kate's and John's background. I am exited to learn that the first book, Sworn to Silence, is being filmed.
