Amish country in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, has always been a place of quiet beauty— until a shocking murder shatters the peace, and leaves a troubled detective picking up the pieces. . .
After her husband is murdered, Detective Elizabeth Harris turns in her NYPD badge and moves back home, hoping that a quiet life in remote Pennsylvania Dutch country will help her overcome the dark memories of her ten years in New York. But when a beautiful, scantily clad "English” girl is found dead in the barn of a prominent Amish family, Elizabeth knows that she's uncovered an evil that could shake the community to its core.
Elizabeth's boss is convinced this was the work of an "English, ” as outsiders are called in Lancaster County. But Elizabeth isn't so sure. All she's missing is an actual lead— until another body is found: this time, a missing Amish girl. Now Elizabeth must track down a killer with deep ties to a community that always protects its own— no matter how deadly the cost. . .
