<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%;background:white"><span style="color:#282828">On Wednesday, July 12, at 6:30 p.m., the Massillon Public Library invites readers to attend an author visit with Linda Castillo, writer of Amish thrillers.
Ms. Castillo will discuss her </span>newest book <u>Down a Dark Road</u>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%;background:white">The story begins years in the past, when Joseph King was convicted of murdering his wife and sentenced to life in prison. He was a "fallen" Amish man and, according to local law
enforcement, a known drug user with a violent temper. Now, King has escaped, and he's headed to Painters Mill. News of a murderer on the loose travels like wildfire, putting Chief of Police Kate Burkholder and her team of officers on edge. A nightmare scenario
becomes reality but Kate begins to wonder whether the police are hiding something, and she embarks on her own investigation to discover the truth.
