The discovery of an Amish bishop's remains leads chief of police Kate
Burkholder to unearth a chilling secret in The Hidden One, a new
thriller from bestselling author Linda Castillo.
Over a decade ago, beloved Amish bishop Ananias Stoltzfus disappeared
without a trace. When skeletal remains showing evidence of foul play are
unearthed, his disappearance becomes even more sinister.
The town's elders arrive in Painters Mill to ask chief of police Kate
Burkholder for help, but she quickly realizes she has a personal
connection to the crime. The handsome Amish man who stands accused of
the murder, Jonas Bowman, was Kate's first love. Forced to confront a
painful episode from her past, Kate travels to Pennsylvania's
Kishacoquillas Valley, where the Amish culture differs dramatically from
the traditions she knows. Though Bishop Stoltzfus was highly respected,
she soon hears about a dark side to this complex man. What was he hiding
that resulted in his own brutal death?
Someone doesn't want Kate asking questions. But even after being
accosted and threatened in the dead of night, she refuses to back down.
Is she too close to the case--and to Jonas--to see clearly? There's a
killer in the Valley who will stop at nothing to keep the past buried.
Will they get to Kate before she can expose the truth? Or will the
bishop's secrets remain hidden forever?
