Wat doe als je een geheim moet verzwijgen om jezelf en je familie te beschermen terwijl je daarmee een moordonderzoek verhindert? Kate Burkholder is onlangs aangesteld als politiechef in haar voormalige woonplaats Painters Mill, Ohio. Haar kennis van de Amish, hun taal en gebruiken, maken haar de ideale kandidaat. Ze is opgegroeid in die gemeenschap, maar heeft er voor gekozen om elders haar leven op te bouwen, weg van haar verleden. Dat verleden komt in alle heftigheid naar boven als er in het stadje weer een seriemoordenaar opduikt, net als zestien jaar geleden. De moorden van toen en nu lijken zo op elkaar dat het wel om dezelfde moordenaar moet gaan. Alleen Kate weet dat dat niet kan...Terwijl ze vastbesloten is om de moordenaar te vinden, probeert ze tegelijkertijd wanhopig haar geheim verborgen te houden.

When a paragraph in an evening newspaper reveals a decades-old tragedy, most readers barely give it a glance. But for 3 strangers it's impossible to ignore. For one woman, it's a reminder of the worst thing that ever happened to her. For another, it's the dangerous possibility that her darkest secret is about to be discovered. And for a journalist, it's the first clue in a hunt to uncover the truth.

A loving husband or a heartless killer...she'd know, wouldn't she?There's a lot Jean hasn't said over the years about the crime her husband was suspected of committing. She was busy being the perfect wife, standing by her man while living with accusing glares and anonymous harassment. Now her husband is dead, and there's no reason to stay quiet. People want to hear her story. They want to know what it was like living with that man. She can tell them there were secrets. There always are in a marriage.     The truth--that's all anyone wants. But the one lesson Jean has learned in the last few years is that she can make people believe anything. For the reporter who has secured the exclusive interview, this is the scoop of a lifetime. For the detective who has lived a half-life since he failed to get justice for the victim, it is a chance to get at the truth that has eluded him for so long. For Jean, it's a chance to defend herself, what she knew--and when.     This is the tale of a missing child, narrated by the wife of the main suspect, the detective leading the hunt, and the journalist covering the case. It's a brilliantly ominous, psychologically acute portrait of a marriage in crisis--perfect for fans of The Silent Wife and The Girl on the Train .
