It\u2019s an exciting time of personal discovery and growth before committing to the church. But when a young teen disappears without a trace, the carefree fun comes to an abrupt and sinister end, and fear spreads through the community like a contagion. 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 the 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.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the book: &#8220;To the public, he\u2019s a hero: a brutal killer who targets sex offenders.
