The minute she arrived at the Pennsylvania Dutch farm, Hana Shaner knew something was amiss. Cloaked in morning mists, the farm was ghostly quiet, the barn doors flung wide open. Inside, the Amish family lined the walls in a solemn vigil. All eyes were focused on the body of a young boy pierced with a pitchfork... the devil's tool. Even as Hana searched for clues, the heinous crime was repeated. This time a superstitious charm was found on the body, sending rumors of hex and witchcraft rippling through the community. Suddenly, Hana was swept into a crime wave that frightened even the most stouthearted police detective. In her high heels and designer clothes, Hana hardly resembled a supersleuth. But the Plain People had no one else to defend them. Whether the victims were modest or fancy folk, these were murders, plan and simple. And Hana had to stop the hand of evil... even as it cloesed around her.
