About this ebook
From the New York Times bestselling author
"With a reckless heroine who puts everything on the line in blind pursuit of justice, the action remains at fever pitch the whole way through." Press Association
"Another knock-out job. I love this series." Alex Kava
The sound of a scream in the early morning dawn leads to a case that will change Kate Burkholder's life irrevocably...
When the police arrive at the Amish farmstead in Painters Mill they can't imagine the horror that awaits them. An entire family slaughtered: the men shot, the young women tortured and killed. The Amish are peace-loving, gentle folk and the town is shocked by what appears to be a particularly brutal - and random killing. But is it random?
Every family has its secrets. Kate knows that better than anyone. And as she and Agent John Tomasetti dig deeper into the victims lives they discover a young woman who was living a lie. A girl who had to live in silence.
With her own past resonating - Kate knows she has to maintain some distance. From the case, and from Tomasetti. She knows what could happen if she gets too close. But when she puts herself in the line of fire - she realizes that, this time, there may be no going back.
