Den kvindelige Politichef Kate Burkholder fra amish-land i Ohio dykker ned i sagen, som snart bliver et kapløb mod tiden, da efterforskningen efter gerningsmanden er en større udfordring, end hun havde regnet med. Det går hurtigt op for Kate, at efterforskningen ikke går efter planen, da den myrdede kvindes familie er højtprofileret i amish samfundet, som bærer på en smertefuld fortid og desuden holder noget hemmeligt for hende.

Men hvem kunne finde på at brænde en ung amishdreng levende? Igennem Kates efterforskningsarbejde udfolder et net af isnende hemmeligheder og forbrydelser sig, som bærer uhyggelige ligheder med begivenheder i Kates egen ungdom – begivenheder, hun igennem årtier har forsøgt at lægge bag sig.

Linda Castillo bevæger sig denne gang væk fra de vante omgivelser i Ohio, og i det fjortende bind i New York times-bestsellerserien om Kate Burkholder lever spændingen, uhyggen og intensiteten i bedste velgående i de nye rammer.Der er gået mere end et årti, siden en højtelsket amishbiskop forsvandt sporløst.

På trods af de følelsesmæssige komplikationer fortsætter Kate alligevel efterforskningen, men hun må snart sande, at hun befinder sig i et amishsamfund, der adskiller sig væsentligt fra de traditioner, hun kender. I arbejdet med at finde et motiv bag mordet, afdækkes foruroligende hemmeligheder om biskoppens fortid, men ikke alle er interesseret i Kates indblanding.

Politichef Kate Burkholder bliver kaldt ud til en mistænkelig brand, og på åstedet mødes hun af synet af amishmanden Milan Swanz lænket til en pæl og brændt levende. Selvom amishsamfundet nægter at tale, lykkes det hende alligevel at stykke et billede sammen af Swanz som en mand i krise og nyligt bandlyst. Hvorfor så denne tavshed? Beskytter de hans minde, eller er der noget, de frygter at sige højt?Da Kates bror involveres i sagen, bliver hun fanget mellem det amishliv, hun engang selv var en del af, og verden udenfor. Og i jagten på sandheden står hun til at afsløre mere om amishsamfundet – og sine egne rødder – end hun havde forestillet sig.Brændt på bålet er sekstende bind i Linda Castillos serie om politichefen Kate Burkholder og hendes rødder i amishsamfundet.

Dawoud Bey focuses on the landscape to create a portrait of the early African American presence in the United States. Renowned for his Harlem street scenes and expressive portraits, Dawoud Bey continues his ongoing series on African American history. Elegy brings together Bey's three landscape series to date-Night Coming Tenderly, Black  (2017); In This Here Place  (2021); and Stony the Road (2023)-elucidating the deep historical memory still embedded in the geography of the United States. Bey takes viewers to the historic Richmond Slave Trail in Virginia, where Africans were marched onto auction blocks; to the plantations of Louisiana, where they labored; and along the last stages of the Underground Railroad in Ohio, where fugitives sought self-emancipation. Essays by the exhibition's curator, Valerie Cassel Oliver, and scholars LeRonn P. Brooks, Imani Perry, and Christina Sharpe illuminate the work. By interweaving these bodies of work into an elegy in three movements, Bey doesn't merely evoke history, he retells it through historically grounded images that challenge viewers to go beyond seeing and imagine lived experiences. Copublished by Aperture and Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond
