Ripped Bodice

When Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is called to a farm
in the Amish community of Painter's Mill, Ohio, nothing
could prepare her for the horror and tragedy she
encounters. Solly and Rachel Slabaugh, and his brother
Abel, have drowned in the manure pit leaving the four
children as orphans. As the investigation progresses, it
seems that the Slabaugh deaths were not an accident, and
the case suddenly becomes a murder enquiry.

Agent John Tomasetti and Kate have worked together before,
and now he is called back to Painter's Mill to help seek
out the perpetrators of what appear to be serious hate
crimes against the Amish. Whether these crimes and the
Slabaugh murders are linked is hard to establish because the
Amish are very proud and private people who do not enjoy
involvement from outside.

As the case deepens, Kate develops a bond with the
children, particularly the 15-year-old daughter, Salome.
Maybe she is reminded of herself at that age, and maybe
there's something about this case which stirs up memories
for her.

The events surrounding the deaths puzzle her - something
doesn't feel right. As more information comes to light, a
tragic incident turns into something much more shocking.

A heartbreaking tragedy on an Amish farm turns out to be something much more sinister.
