Bekker's Burial

By: Linzey, Paul E.

Book One in the Village of Hockessin Novel series, Bekker's Burial will engage readers who love a good mystery, entertain those who like action and suspense, inform history lovers, and speak softly but deeply to those who are interested in the intersection of faith and real life.

John & Madison move from Northern California to Suburban Delaware to get a fresh start in careers and marriage but soon find themselves fighting for their lives. A series of events including murder, coercion, threats, invasion of privacy, and kidnapping leads to a discovery that may be worth millions-if they find it first, if they're not killed, and if their marriage survives.

This novel is a combination mystery, thriller, suspense, cozy, and historical fiction. It is historically based, international in scope, spans multiple generations, and includes themes of trust, fear, greed, love, envy, and faith.

After completing an MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Tampa, Paul wrote several nonfiction books which can be seen by clicking the Nonfiction button above. Writing fiction started with a collection of flash fiction short stories titled Getting it Twisted, written with one of his sons, and another flash fiction anthology with all three of his sons, titled Echoes from the Same House. Bekker's Burial is his first novel, and he is already planning book two in the series.
