Outsider
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Bestselling author Linda Castillo returns with Outsider, an electrifying thriller about a woman on the run hiding among the Amish.
While enjoying a sleigh ride with his children, Amish widower Adam Lengacher discovers a car stuck in a snowdrift and an unconscious woman inside. He calls upon Chief of Police Kate Burkholder for help, and she is surprised to recognize the driver: fellow cop and her former friend, Gina Colorosa.
Years before, Kate and Gina were best friends at the police academy and patrol officers in Columbus, but time and distance have taken them down two very different paths. Now, Gina reveals a shocking story of betrayal and revenge that has forced her to run for her life. She's desperate for protection, and the only person she can trust is Kate—but can Kate trust her? Or will Gina's dark past put them all in danger?
As a blizzard bears down on Painters Mill, Kate helps Gina go into hiding on Adam's farm. While the tough-skinned Gina struggles to adjust to the Amish lifestyle, Kate and state agent John Tomasetti delve into the incident that caused Gina to flee. But as Kate gets closer to the truth, a killer lies in wait. When violence strikes, she must confront a devastating truth that changes everything she thought she knew not only about friendship, but the institution to which she's devoted her life.

At the start of bestseller Castillo’s suspenseful 12th Kate Burkholder mystery (after 2019’s Shamed), young Amish widower Adam Lengacher, while out in his sleigh on a snowy day with his three small children, spots a car in a ditch. Nearby he finds an injured woman who’s been shot and who asks for Painters Mill, Ohio, police chief Kate Burkholder. Adam takes the woman to his farmhouse and notifies the police. When Kate gets to Adam’s house, she’s shocked to discover that the woman is her old friend and fellow cop, Gina Colorosa, whom she hasn’t seen in a decade. Gina is on the run, wanted for killing an informant, but swears she’s being framed by fellow members of the Columbus vice-squad. A blizzard strands the two women on the farm with Adam and his family, and the dirty cops are on Gina’s trail. In spite of Kate’s desire to believe Gina is innocent, Kate knows her too well to trust she’s telling the truth. Amid all the mayhem, Castillo presents a loving, realistic portrait of Amish life. Readers will hope Kate has a long career. Agent: Nancy Yost, Nancy Yost Literary.

Starred review from May 15, 2020
Gina Colorosa was like a sister to Kate Burkholder after Kate had left her Amish family permanently. Gina gave help and encouragement as the two of them entered police work, until Gina's bad decisions as a rookie cop caused a rift in their relationship. Now Gina, in mortal danger from her colleagues in the Columbus, Ohio, vice unit because of what she knows, reaches out to Kate, police chief in the small town of Painters Mill, in the midst of a massive blizzard. Gina is hiding in the home of Amish farmer Adam Lengacher, and Kate is unsure about what to believe of Gina's account of the activities of her corrupt police unit, prompting Kate to call on her significant other, John Tomasetti, an agent with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, for advice. As weather conditions worsen and the Columbus police launch a search for Gina, Kate worries about the Lengacher family's involvement and Gina's probable future; then things turn deadly. This twelfth entry in the best-selling Burkholder series is another fast-paced, suspense-building ride, showing the character development and sensitivity to the Amish culture that mark Castillo's masterful crime fiction.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)

A snowstorm cripples Painters Mill, OH, where Amish and English live comfortably side by side. Police Chief Kate Burkholder gets a call from an Amish friend about an unconscious woman he found in a car on his property. Gina Colorosa used to be Kate's bestie when they worked together on the Columbus police force. Kate saw Gina crossing certain lines and left the force before having to see Gina go down the wrong path. But Gina's bad decisions have caught up with her, and now she begs Kate for protection. Not knowing how much she can trust Gina, Kate has her hide out with the family that found her. She also calls on her significant other, Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation agent John Tomasetti, for help with this unwanted mess. VERDICT Castillo's 12th "Kate Burkholder" novel (after Shamed) is a suspenseful, culture-melding nail-biter mixing nonstop action, a timely plot, and street-tough dialog, delivering a gritty crime drama with a realistic look at the Amish lifestyle. Fans of the series and crime dramas � la Marta Perry and Lisa Gardner will find this hard to put down. [See Prepub Alert, 1/7/20.]--Debbie Haupt, St. Charles City--Cty. Lib. Dist., St. Peters, MO

Starred review from August 1, 2020
A white-hot case reunites old friends who'd been estranged for years. Leaving the Amish community behind, Kate Burkholder was struggling to survive in Columbus, Ohio, when she met ambitious Gina Colorosa. They became friends, shared an apartment, and graduated from the police academy together. But when Gina started accepting freebies and bribes, their friendship foundered, and Kate eventually left to take a job as police chief in Painters Mill. Now Gina's in trouble with fellow vice squad officers who think she stole a pot of drug money they were supposed to share. She barely escapes with her life when a no-knock warrant brings them to her house in the dead of night. The only person she can trust even after 10 years of silence is Kate. In the middle of a blizzard, Gina crashes her truck and almost freezes before she's found by Amish widower Adam Lengacher, a childhood friend of Kate's. When Kate arrives, Gina tells a sordid story of corruption at the highest levels and coverups concerning innocent civilians killed in a raid. The warrant out for Gina's arrest and her own doubts about Gina's incredible story put Kate in a tough spot. So she calls her boyfriend, Bureau of Criminal Investigation agent John Tomasetti, for advice. Snowed in, Gina tries to adapt to living in an Amish home with three small children and Adam, who's clearly attracted to her. While they wait for Tomasetti to mine his sources, several of the crooked cops plot to track her down and kill her in what will look like an arrest gone wrong. A pulse-pounding Amish thriller (really!) that's all too relevant to our time.COPYRIGHT(2020) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
