Some secrets are too terrible to reveal ...

Painter's Creek, Ohio may be a sleepy, rural town with both Amish and 'English' residents, but it's also the place where a series of brutal murders shattered the lives of an entire community over a decade ago.

Now, 15 years, two dead parents and a wealth of experience later, Katie has been asked to return as Chief of Police.

Until the first body of a slaughtered young woman is found in a pristine, snowy field...
