Synopsis

SHORTLISTED — Chanticleer International Book Awards "An intuitive, clever detective." — Kirkus Reviews Written by a former Fingerprint Technician
My name is Terry Strong. I am a private investigator. I spy on people, nose into their most personal spaces, and uncover the secrets they would rather keep buried.
It is not glamorous work.
But when Martin Oldfield walks into my office with a postcard from a wife who vanished twenty-five years ago, something tells me this case is going to be anything but ordinary.
What starts as a missing persons search becomes something far darker. Eloise Oldfield does not just turn up alive. She turns up dead. And the man who hired me to find her is now sitting in a jail cell accused of her murder.
Martin says he is innocent. The police say the evidence does not lie. And somewhere between those two truths is a butterfly — a woman who reinvented herself so completely that even the people who loved her never really knew her at all.
Terry Strong, PI. Black Belt in Taekwondo. Former model. The only person standing between Martin Oldfield and a conviction he did not earn.
If you love smart, funny, razor-sharp female detectives in the tradition of Janet Evanovich and Sue Grafton, Poison Butterfly is your next obsession.
A Terry Strong, PI Mystery — by Lo Monaco
