Winterbourne

By: William Lynes

Narrated by: Doug Greene

Winterbourne is an evocative tale of murder, revenge, and love. Here is a riveting account of crime, murder, and madness that terrorizes the small-town surgeon and his family in the formerly innocent California community, known as Winterbourne.

Set in the early 1960s, this is the story of a family-oriented community, surrounding a winterbourne stream, in Northern California. It is full of average law-abiding citizens who live in picturesque equestrian properties with white three-rail fences. A violent motor vehicle accident and the attempted resuscitation of the victim, a homeless drug addict, by surgeon Doctor Franklin Carson and his Labrador, Winston, begins a fast-paced story of deception and lies. The event calls attention to a problem in the small community.

Something is wrong, evil is about, and the society's innocence is at risk. A crime ring is rumored, centered around a violent resident of Winterbourne. The man is a ruddy-complexioned man with a distinctive disabling appearance. His father is the corrupt, politically powerful resident of the community. It is the search for a young innocent runaway that reveals a secret scandal which will tear apart the very substance of Winterbourne.

Gripping, dark, and yet redeeming.

Dr. William Lynes is my new favorite medical thriller author. Very intriguing, suspenseful, and brilliantly written. The story is dark (essentially no redeeming qualities in the sinister Del Grogan), yet there is Christian hope and light in the story. Well done.
