About this item
In the latest riveting installment by Linda Castillo, newlywed Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is abruptly awakened by an urgent midnight call. A suspicious fire in the woods has resulted in a gruesome discovery: the charred remains of an Amish man named Milan Swanz, chained to a stake and burned alive. This appalling crime, shrouded in symbolism, strikes at the heart of the Amish community.
Kate, once part of this insular world, understands their aversion to outside interference. Yet, the community's silence about Swanz is puzzling. Swanz, a recently excommunicated member, led a troubled life. But why are the Amish so reluctant to discuss him? Is it to protect his memory, or is there a deeper, more fearsome secret they are hiding?
The investigation intensifies when Kate’s own brother is implicated, placing her at odds with both the Amish and the English communities, as well as her law enforcement colleagues. The case takes a dangerous turn as Kate’s life is threatened by a mysterious stranger.
To solve the murder, Kate must delve deep into Anabaptist culture, uncovering dark, hidden aspects of its history. Her journey reveals a secret legacy that challenges her understanding of the Amish and her own heritage. This chilling exploration not only brings to light the truth behind Milan Swanz's death but also forces Kate to confront and reevaluate her roots and beliefs.
Linda Castillo masterfully weaves a tale of suspense, cultural conflict, and personal discovery in this unforgettable mystery.
