When a young woman is found murdered in a Painters Mill motel, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is shocked to discover the victim is Rachael Schwartz, a troubled Amish girl who left the fold years ago. Why was she back in town? And who would kill her so brutally? The deeper Kate digs into Rachael's life, the more she's convinced that Rachael's dubious reputation was deserved: a rabble-rouser with a keen eye for opportunity no matter who got in her way. Her no-holds-barred lifestyle earned her enemies both English and Amish. As long-buried secrets resurface, someone doesn't want Rachael's past - or the mysteries she took with her to the grave - coming to light.

The Highland Branch Library has long played an important role in downtown Highland. From its beginnings in rented storefronts to the Highland Memorial Library built in 1946 to its present location on Jewett and 4th Street, it has been an integral part of the community. The exterior of the library looks nearly as it did when it was first built in 1966. Although it is one of the oldest buildings in the library system, it's newly remodeled interior makes it one of the newest. The library still houses over 65,000 items, but now also features a large meeting room and children's program room, a small group room, and WiFi, along with many public Internet computers. These features, along with the library's bright and inviting atmosphere and convenient location, make the Highland Branch Library a destination for the community and surrounding areas.
