Shamed

Painters Mill, OH, police chief Kate Burkholder responds to a crime scene at a deserted farm where she finds a five-year-old child covered in blood. The butchered body of the youth’s Amish grandmother is inside the house, and another child is missing, a seven-year-old girl with special needs. This kind of case brings law enforcement units from all over, but the family trusts Kate because she was once Amish. Then a child accidentally blurts out something that convinces Kate that the family has secrets. She’s shocked to discover that responsible people in the Amish community, two bishops and a midwife, may have set a crime spree in motion by their actions seven years earlier. As shots are fired, and bodies pile up, Kate comes too close to a man who wants revenge, and the tension mounts before a shocking attack and a gripping conclusion.
