Promise Not to Tell: A Novel

Forty-one-year-old school nurse Kate Cypher has returned home to rural Vermont to care for her mother, whoâ€™s afflicted with Alzheimerâ€™s. On the night she arrives, a young girl is murderedâ€”a horrific crime that eerily mirrors another from Kateâ€™s childhood. Three decades earlier, her dirt-poor friend Delâ€”shunned and derided by classmates as â€œPotato Girlâ€â€”was brutally slain. Delâ€™s killer was never found, while the victim has since achieved immortality in local legends and ghost stories. Now, as this new murder investigation draws Kate irresistibly in, her past and present collide in terrifying, unexpected ways. Because nothing is quite what it seems . . . and the grim specters of her youth are far from forgotten.
