      About This Book

      A brutal serial killer once tore apart an Amish town.

      Sixteen years ago, a series of brutal murders shattered a peaceful farming community. A young Amish girl named Kate Burkholder survived the terror of the Slaughterhouse Killer...but fled to the safety of a big city.

      Now he's back—with a vengeance.
      Years later, Kate returns to Painters Mill, Ohio as Chief of Police. She's come to terms with her past—until the first body is discovered in a snowy field.

      And only one woman can stop him...
      Kate vows to stop the killer before he strikes again. But will she betray both her family and her Amish past—and expose the dark secret that could destroy her?
