New York Times bestselling author Linda Castillo is known as a "master of the genre" (People) for her pulse-pounding mystery series set in Amish country. Now, together for the first time in print, A Simple Murder features six original short stories starring whip-smart chief of police, Kate Burkholder. While on vacation with her partner John Tomasetti in LONG LOST, Kate discovers that the old house where they' re staying is haunted by a girl who disappeared decades before. . . An abandoned baby is discovered on the Amish bishop' s front porch in A HIDDEN SECRET, and Kate is called in to investigate. SEEDS OF DECEPTION unearths the secrets of Kate Burkholder' s own Amish past-and lays the groundwork for her future career in law enforcement. In the midst of a power outage in Painters Mill, a teenage girl is attacked at an Amish party in ONLY THE LUCKY. IN DARK COMPANY is the story of an injured woman with amnesia who seeks Kate' s help in trying to remember her attacker' s identity. . . and her own. IN PLAIN SIGHT leads Kate to what she believes is a straightforward hit-and-run accident-but she soon uncovers a story of teenage passion that may have led to attempted murder.
