The Transfer

“The reason we don’t have an ID on the victim yet is the same reason why I reached out to you guys,” Mahoney said. “Our victim is a young Amish girl. Late teens, early twenties at the most.”

A month ago, the farmhouse shared by Detective Reed Mattox and his K-9 partner Billie was invaded. After several years working cases together, one of those finally followed them home. The perpetrators kicked in both the front and back doors in an assault that Reed and Billie were lucky to survive with their lives.

Any sense of peace they enjoyed was shattered. Their place of solace, the refuge from the heinous world they spent their lives investigating, violated.

Exhausted by long days followed by short nights spent staring at the ceiling, every shadow a possible threat, every sound another intrusion, the pair receive a call from the northern part of the state asking for their assistance.

Heavy recent rains forced authorities to open a dam at Lake Edsell to prevent flooding. Instead of just lowering the water level, the release revealed the body of a young woman floating just below the surface—weighted down by a rope tied to two twenty-five pound anchors

A young woman from a community that Reed and Billie have never experienced before. A place without driver’s licenses or dental records, school IDs, or even current photographs. Certainly, no known enemies.

Without a paper trail, Reed and Billie have nothing to chase but whispers. Met with shock and the wariness of strangers that turns every question into a closed door, they’re forced to search for answers that hit far too close to home
