Category: Fiction

Murder, the ultimate obscenity of modern society. When it comes crashing into the life of the Amish, the world suddenly becomes a most confusing place. A mysterious stranger with no past and now no future is found dead on an Amishmans farm. The tools of the obscenity seem to be almost as ancient as the Amish themselves. It is a crime that mirrors attempts to understand the Amish themselves, an event and a people without rhyme or reason in what they do, at least in this most modern world. Deutschman Abe Yoder never considered a career as a detective. If the truth were known, he never considered much of anything other than what was right. By the time all the literal and figurative smoke had cleared, all that would be left for Abe will be one single thought: things arent quite what they seem to be, even among the Amish
