Description
|
|
|
|
The peaceful settlement of Millersburg, Ohio, is rocked by the murder of one of its citizens at the hands of an itinerant ex-convict, in this second Amish-Country mystery. When a local reporter covering the story ends up dead as well, with the convict already behind bars, suspicion falls on David Hawkins, father of the first victim, who has disappeared. Has this former U.S. soldier, accepted into the Amish community despite his shadowy past, forsaken his vows of pacifism to seek vengeance? P.L. Gaus's "fascinating multicultural mystery" series (Booklist) explores the moral and legal conundrums of Professor Michael Branden, Sheriff Bruce Robertson, and Pastor Cal Troyer as they set out to uncover truths hidden away in their otherwise quiet corner of the world. Along the way, Gaus paints a unique portrait of a culture making its way side by side with contemporary American life.
