Genre: Suspense
Series: Kate Burkholder #9.5

In Dark Company, a novella, draws you in from the start. A seamless hour or two taking you back to Painters Mill and the Amish community Police Chief Kate Burkholder has sworn to protect.

A girl stumbles out of the dark with no memory of her name or where she came from. Her language is familiar to Kate but not quite the Pennsylvania Dutch of her own childhood. Kate can make out some of the words to the story the girl is telling, enough to believe she is telling the truth -- someone is chasing her and she is in danger.

That someone is banking on the belief small town cops are not sophisticated enough to figure out why Elisabeth needs to die. She needs to keep her mouth shut and if it mean tracking her to the hospital and finishing the job there, then that is what needs to be done.

Since Elisabeth does not know her full story, Kate is playing catch up until the final moments. The moments when a decision has to be made between love and loyalty.
