Implementation recommendations (tutorial) for implementing a linq interface

Question

Developing a .net library based on an industry standard. The standard includes data structures and an API for interacting with a server.

I am considering adding a Linq friendly implementation, and to try to either implement or emulate Linq to Entities. The obvious difference is the API is used for CRUD operations, instead of a database server.

I have seen a lot of various articles and tutorials on how to implement parts of this, but was curious if someone can recommend a more comprehensive, start-to-finish guide for this sort of undertaking?
