Forty-one-year-old school nurse Kate Cypher has returned home to
rural Vermont to care for her mother who's afflicted with
Alzheimer's. On the night she arrives, a young girl is murdered--a
horrific crime that eerily mirrors another from Kate's childhood.
Three decades earlier, her dirt-poor friend Del--shunned and
derided by classmates as "Potato Girl"--was brutally slain. Del'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.
More than just a murder mystery, Jennifer McMahon's
extraordinary debut novel, "Promise Not to Tell," is a story of
friendship and family, devotion and betrayal--tautly written,
deeply insightful, beautifully evocative, and utterly
unforgettable.
