About this listen

Award winner! With a new introduction by best-selling true-crime author Ron Franscell.

For twenty-five years, the trusted family doctor in a small Wyoming town had been raping and molesting the women and children who most relied on him. Mostly Mormons, the naive victims sometimes realized on their wedding nights the truth about what had happened in Dr. Story's office.

In riveting detail, veteran crime writer Jack Olsen tells the searing story of a small group of courageous women who decided to bring a doctor to justice--and unearthed a legacy of pain and anger that would divide their families, their neighbors, and an entire town.

Critic reviews

"This masterful book by the author of

Son, as much a searching sociological study as a true-crime narrative, tells what happened in Lovell when these happenings came to light: the community lost its bearings and the doctor was convicted of rape." (

It is not the best of Jack Olsen's books in my opinion but that does not mean it is not a great book. Jack Olsen was a genius true crime writer in my opinion and even one of his average books is much better than books written by many other crime writers. Dr John Storey sexually assaulted many of his patients, possibly hundreds and got away with it, protected by many in his local community. The story is shocking and shows how people believe such reprobate behaviour cannot be perpetrated by those charged with treating the sick. Absolutely excellent narration again by Kevin Pierce.
