Ellie McEnroe is my kind of heroine - snarky, smart, and stubborn!  (fair warning - if you can't handle swearing - pass on this book).  Despite the harrowing events and people she encounters, Ellie doggedly pursues the whereabouts of her army buddy's little brother (did anyone tell her he's an ecoterroist!).  Along the way (in China) she acquires a few more injuries, a dog, and the truth.  No time for Ellie (or the reader) to get bogged down in this taut, twisty story.

From gruesome opening to shocking end, the reader is taken on a wild ride with more twists and turns than an old Starsky and Hutch car chase!  Someone in Painter Mills, OH is committing hate crimes against Chief Kate Burkbolder's Amish citizens and she's getting no help  from them because of their code of silence.  When the deaths of 3 Amish family members change from accidental to murder, Kate's "hate crimes" become something far more sinister and personal than she can imagine.  Castillo's good plotting, pace and strong memorable characters make it easy to recommend.
