But to do so, she must betray both her family and her Amish past-and expose a dark secret that could destroy her. Kate vows to stop the killer before he strikes again. She’s certain she’s come to terms with her past-until the first body is discovered in a snowy field. Her Amish roots and big city law enforcement background make her the perfect candidate. Now, a wealth of experience later, Kate has been asked to return to Painters Mill as chief of police. Kate Burkholder, a young Amish girl, survived the terror of the Slaughterhouse Killer but came away from its brutality with the realization that she no longer belonged with the Amish. In the aftermath of the violence, the town was left with a sense of fragility, a loss of innocence. But sixteen years ago, a series of brutal murders shattered the peaceful farming community. In the sleepy rural town of Painters Mill, Ohio, the Amish and “English” residents have lived side by side for two centuries. Sworn to Silence is the first in Linda Castillo's New York Times bestselling Kate Burkholder series.
