Chief of Police Kate Burkholder investigates the
brutal death of a young Amish man in An Evil Heart, the
latest installment of the bestselling series by Linda
Castillo.
On a crisp autumn day in
Painters Mill, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder responds to a
call only to discover an Amish man who has been violently
killed with a crossbow, his body abandoned on a dirt road.
Aden Karn was just twenty years old, well liked, and from an
upstanding Amish family. Who would commit such a heinous
crime against a young man whose life was just beginning?
The more Kate gets to know his devastated family and
the people—both English and Amish—who loved him,
the more determined she becomes to solve the case. Aden Karn
was funny and hardworking and looking forward to marrying
his sweet fiancé, Emily. All the while, Kate’s
own wedding day to Tomasetti draws near...
But as
she delves into Karn’s past, Kate begins to hear
whispers about a dark side. What if Aden Karn wasn’t
the wholesome young man everyone admired? Is it possible the
rumors are a cruel campaign to blame the victim? Kate
pursues every lead with a vengeance, sensing an unspeakable
secret no one will broach.
The case spirals out
of control when a young Amish woman comes forward with a
horrific story that pits Kate against a dangerous and
unexpected opponent. When the awful truth is finally
uncovered, Kate comes face to face with the terrible
consequences of a life lived in all the dark places.
