A Pennsylvania Amish bishop, missing for years, has been found — a murder victim. Amish elders come to Painter’s Mill and ask Chief of Police Kate Burkholder for assistance. They are concerned for the Amish man who has been arrested, a man that Kate knows from childhood.
The more Kate investigates — the hidden and dark side of the old bishop is uncovered. And someone wants Kate to stop and go home. As Kate gets closer to the truth, the threats escalate.
