Mrs Winchester's Gun Club cover

Inspired by the true-story of the Winchester Mystery House in California.

Guilt mires Sarah Winchester. When her husband dies, she inherits the fortune of husband’s invention of the Winchester rifle. After, her own complicity in the deaths of those killed by the rifle, haunts her relentlessly. So, in an effort to ease her conscience, she begins the construction of the Winchester House, a maze of rooms meant to house the dead Sarah cannot seem to escape.

"Inspired by the true story of Sarah Winchester, Bruton has come up with a strong central idea, and he does it justice in this absorbing, well-written novel of a woman’s search for redemption."—The Herald
