Witness

Rachel, a widow, and her son Samuel were "Amish" who respected the precepts without violating their sect, and continued to live in a pre-modern way. On their way from their village to visit relatives, they happen to witness a murder. John Book, the detective in charge of the case, tries to protect the mother and child by using them as witnesses, but immediately after it is revealed that the culprit is within the police force, he is attacked and seriously injured. He heads to an Amish village for recuperation and escape, but assassins are closing in on him every moment.
