The whole time I was reading this book, I kept wondering where Kate’s focus should be. With an old friend - she does not trust - or as the Chief of Police of Painters Mill. A town amid a blizzard with only two of her officers able to answer calls, or snowed in on a farm trying to keep an eye on an old friend with a strange story to tell.
Gina Colorosa, an officer who came out of the academy with Kate, has made bad choices in her life, and right now, she needs Kate’s help. Gina is trying to get to Kate before she is murdered by the men who have a habit of removing problems from their lives. Adam Lengacher, an Amish widower, while out with his children, finds Gina huddled nearly frozen to death by the side of the road. He is a good man, and with his upbringing and faith, he must help Gina, an outsider. By doing this, he is putting his and the lives of his children in danger, but for him, she is worth it.
As Gina tells her story, the reader bounces back and forth in this loosely wound thriller. Kate knows Gina’s seedy history, but can she get past it and read between the lines to find the truth. Can Kate’s boyfriend, John Tomasetti, use his Bureau of Criminal Investigation ties to find out if what Gina is saying is truthful about the corruption and cover-ups within the vice squad? As the story unwinds, it is a race against man and the elements to save all the lives on an Amish farm and to expose the truth behind Gina’s farfetched story.
