Publisher Description
What lies in the past should not be uncovered.
When Abbie Adams, a historian-turned-journalist, is hired to investigate a cold-case murder from 1969, she jumps at the chance. But soon after she begins researching the case, she realizes that Frank Wexler, the faculty advisor who tanked her thesis and a member of a powerful family in town, is connected to the crime and is definitely not talking.
As Abbie tracks down the remaining living witnesses, she slowly pieces together the events of that fateful night, and yet is not a single step closer to solving the case. Were the police back then told to stand down? To cover up the crime?
When her witnesses suddenly wind up dead, it becomes clear that Abbie has stumbled upon a sensitive truth that threatens to tear the fabric of the southern town apart. The killer could still be out there, and now he could be hunting her.

The Dead Won’t Tell
This book was an amazing thing to read. I never guessed the one who committed the grime. I’ll definitely read more by this author.
Great read!
A story well told.
The Dead Won’t Tell
Two concurrent but different storylines run through the book. Bothe are compelling and keep you guessing til the end. There is too much word space given to tangential events that don’t advance either plot. Abbie’s reactions to pivotal events (police questioning & resolution of her past trauma with her PhD mentor) didn’t ring true for me. That said, the characters are interesting and the two-plot narrative is well-balanced. Readers will enjoy the story as a whole.
