The Slabaugh family are model Amish farmers, prosperous and hardworking, with four children and a happy extended family. When the parents and an uncle are found dead in their barn, it appears to be a gruesome accident : methane gas asphyxiation caused by a poorly ventilated cesspit. But in the course of a routine autopsy, the coroner discovers that one of the victims suffered a head wound before death -- clearly, foul play was involved. But who would want to make orphans of the Slabaugh's children? And is this murder somehow related to a recent string of shocking hate crimes against the Amish?
