Publisher Description

Bucolic Painters Mill is plunged into darkness in this new short mystery featuring Chief of Police Kate Burkholder.

It's Friday the 13th in Painters Mill and rumors of an Amish "rager"—a huge outdoor party rife with underage drinking—puts Chief of Police Kate Burkholder and her small department on edge. To make matters worse, Painters Mill is in the midst of a county-wide power outage.

At the height of the rager, a teenage Amish girl is attacked with a hammer and left for dead. Kate is called to the scene—an abandoned farm teeming with loud music and rowdy behavior—to find the girl unconscious and bleeding from a head wound.

With the girl in a coma and an unknown attacker on the loose, Kate must discover who would want to hurt her, and why, before it's too late.
