Overview
What happens when Death decides to retire?
Davis Mareth wants one thing: a job. When Winterbourne Home offers him an evening position caring for elderly residents, he thinks his luck has finally changed. Unfortunately, Winterbourne has a history that refuses to stay buried.
Once an asylum, the imposing old building is home to strange residents, impossible encounters and a director whose ambitions are far more sinister than any ordinary workplace nightmare. As Davis begins his first shifts, the boundary between life and death becomes alarmingly thin.
Then comes an extraordinary possibility: Death has a successor to find. Davis may be in line for a position he never applied for-if he can survive the people determined to seize its power.
Full of sharp dialogue, supernatural surprises and darkly comic misadventures, Winterbourne turns the familiar grim-reaper legend on its head. Who escorts us into the afterlife? What happens when the person responsible for death wants a holiday? And just how dangerous can a nursing home become?
Enter Winterbourne, the first book in S. A. Baker's Winterbourne series-a witty, irreverent urban fantasy where the night shift is only the beginning.
Series entry point: Winterbourne, Book 1 of the Winterbourne series. No sequel plot details or unconfirmed publication promises.
