An extraordinarily beautiful Amish woman, a dangerous femme-fatale, is the central figure in a story that reveals a dark side of Painters Mill and its seemingly perfect Amish world. What at first seems like a tragic, but routine car accident suddenly takes on a more sinister cast as evidence emerges that nothing about the crash is accidental. But who would want to kill an Amish deacon and two of his children? Desperate to find out who killed her best friend's husband and why, Kate begins to suspect she is not looking for a reckless drunk, but instead is on the trail of a cold blooded killer.
