Pray for Silence

Ein gellender Schrei in der Morgendämmerung führt Polizeipräsidentin Kate Burkholder zu einem Fall, der ihr Leben unwiderruflich verändern wird. Als die Polizei in einem Gehöft der Amish People ankommt, erwartet sie ein grauenhaftes Szenario: Ein Mann wurde erschossen, die jungen Frauen gefoltert und getötet. Die Amish People sind ein friedliebendes und freundliches Volk und der wahllose Mord schockiert die Kleinstadt. Doch war er wahllos? Jede Familie hat ihre Geheimnisse und das weiß Kate besser als alle anderen...

The sound of a scream in the early morning dawn leads to a case that will change Kate Burkholder's life irrevocably . . . When the police arrive at the Amish farmstead in Painters Mill they can't imagine the horror that awaits them. An entire family slaughtered: the men shot, the young women tortured and killed. The Amish are peace-loving, gentle folk and the town is shocked by what appears to be a particularly brutal - and random killing. But is it random? Every family has its secrets. Kate knows that better than anyone. And as she and Agent John Tomasetti dig deeper into the victims' lives they discover a young woman who was living a lie. A girl who had to live in silence. With her own past resonating - Kate knows she has to maintain some distance. From the case, and from Tomasetti. She knows what could happen if she gets too close. But when she puts herself in the line of fire - she realizes that, this time, there may be no going back. 'Think of the movie Witness and add just a touch of the Coen brothers' Fargo and you have the feel for this brilliant, nail-biting thriller' Daily Mail
