Missing Shelley Shepard Gray

When the body of Perry Borntrager is discovered in an abandoned well, the quiet Amish community of Crittenden, Kentucky, is thrown into turmoil. Grief-stricken, everyone in the stunned community struggles to understand how such a terrible tragedy—the first mysterious death to strike their placid small town in over twenty years—could have happened. But the death has not only shaken the town, it has invited the scrutiny of the outside world when a homicide detective arrives to investigate. Lydia Plank, Perrys former girlfriend, and Walter Anderson, an Englisher who was Perrys best friend, are the first suspects. Drawn together by the suspicions of both the authorities and the community, they discover an unlikely companionship that offers solace, understanding, and the promise of something more during the hardest of days.
