In New York Times bestselling author Linda Castillo's next thriller
Fallen, a rebellious Amish woman leaves the Plain life, but the
secrets she takes with her will lead Chief of Police Kate
Burkholder down a dark path to danger and death. When a young woman
is found murdered in a Painters Mill motel, Chief of Police Kate
Burkholder is shocked to discover she once knew the victim. Rachael
Schwartz was a charming but troubled Amish girl who left the fold
years ago and fled Painters Mill. Why was she back in town? And who
would kill her so brutally? Kate remembers Rachael as the only girl
who was as bad at being Amish as Kate was--and those parallels dog
her. But the more Kate learns about Rachael's life, the more she's
convinced that her dubious reputation was deserved. As a child,
Rachael was a rowdy rulebreaker whose decision to leave devastated
her parents and best friend. As an adult, she was charismatic and
beautiful, a rabble-rouser with a keen eye for opportunity no
matter who got in her way. Her no-holds-barred lifestyle earned her
a lot of love and enemies aplenty--both English and Amish. As the
case heats to a fever pitch and long-buried secrets resurface, a
killer haunts Painters Mill. Someone doesn't want Rachael's
past--or the mysteries she took with her to the grave--coming to
light. As Kate digs deeper, violence strikes again, this time
hitting close to home. Will Kate uncover the truth and bring a
murderer to justice? Or will a killer bent on protecting a terrible
past stop her once and for all--and let the fallen be forgotten?

Gustav Perle grows up in a small town in Switzerland, where the
horrors of the Second World War seem only a distant echo. An only
child, he lives alone with Emilie, the mother he adores but who
treats him with bitter severity. He begins an intense friendship
with a Jewish boy his age, talented and mercurial Anton Zweibel, a
budding concert pianist. The novel follows Gustav's family, tracing
the roots of his mother's anti-Semitism and its impact on her son
and his beloved friend. Moving backward to the war years and the
painful repercussions of an act of conscience, and forward through
the lives and careers of the two men, one who becomes a hotel
owner, the other a concert pianist, The Gustav Sonata explores the
passionate love of childhood friendship as it is lost, transformed,
and regained over a lifetime. It is a powerful and deeply moving
addition to the beloved oeuvre of one of our greatest contemporary
novelists.
