PROMISES OF HOME "Abbott trickles out the clues (both real and cleverly misleading) and builds both suspense and mystery with great dexterity."    —Houston Chronicle Twenty years ago, as the tatters of a hurricane lashed Central Texas, twelve-year-old Jordan Poteet and his friends dared each other to ride out the storm in their tree house. But in the still eye of the tempest, they raced for safety—and stumbled over the body of a beautiful girl. Now the six schoolmates who shared the grisly sight of death so long ago are being coolly murdered, one by one, day by day. By whom? Why? Unless Jordan and Police Chief Junebug Moncrief, another survivor of the storm, can answer those questions fast, it will be their turn to die... Buy the book from Amazon, Barnes & Noble or an independent bookstore.
