Book Cover & Preview Text
"I looked down at him, at his body. Scenes from the past year flashed quickly through my mind. So much had gone on, it felt more like a lifetime. It had to end in death--either his or my own. I couldn’t have taken much more. Then I started laughing. I don’t know why. It was one of those nervous, uncontrollable laughs, not because something was funny, but maybe to remove myself from the reality of what just happened. Born out of disbelief about what I had just done."

About the Book
Can you keep a secret? High school student Joe wishes he’d never been asked that question. In the small town of New Haven, Missouri, murder is not a common occurrence, so when Joe kills his “best bud” Brad, a tidal wave of shock washes over the community. It makes no sense that Joe killed Brad. However, among teens, you never know what evil lurks beneath the surface.
Take a journey inside Joe’s mind as he reveals the details, planning, and tumultuous emotions that went into murdering his best friend. It’s no mystery that Joe is guilty; he admits that on page one. The question is why? What causes a nice young man to commit a murder? The answer isn’t as clear as it initially seems.
Details slowly float to the surface as time moves from the present into the past. Joe might admit guilt, but who is truly to blame for Brad’s murder? Will those responsible for heinous acts be brought to justice? Keeping a secret can be risky, but in Tell Me No Secret, a group of teen friends discovers just how dangerous it can be.
