Please Don't Tell: A Novel

In this thriller by the New York Times–bestselling author of A Place in the Country, a woman’s choice to help an injured man changes her life forever.

Fen Dexter’s quiet life on the idyllic California coast is interrupted one stormy night when a blood-covered man shows up on her doorstep, claiming to have had a car accident. He tells her that he is on his way to San Francisco to help the police solve the murder of his fiancée. Unable to make it to the hospital because of the storm, he stays the night at Fen’s, and the attraction between them is obvious. The next morning, he heads to the hospital where Fen’s niece, Vivi, is an ER doctor. Vivi is treating the most recent target of a serial killer whose signature move is to leave a note saying “Please Don’t Tell” taped across his victims’ mouths. When Fen’s mysterious stranger comes to Vivi to have his wounds stitched, she agrees to set him up to talk with the police about his fiancée. But who is this man, really? What does he want with Fen and her family? And will they all live long enough to uncover the truth?

“Brawn, bravado, and romance . . . Adler is in top form in her latest thriller. She delivers fascinating characters [and] twists that shock and surprise.” —Mystery Scene
