I also need some chocolate or ice cream and maybe a lot of hugs – anything really that will bring comfort. I need a hot bath filled with suds that smells of lavender. The Butterfly Garden has left me feeling drained – emotionally and mentally. Her eyes are half-closed, deep shadows bruising skin beneath, and her black hair is dull and unwashed, scraped back into a messy knot. She sits slumped in the hard metal chair, chin resting on one bandaged hand as the other traces nonsense symbols onto the surface of the stainless steel table. It doesn’t surprise him at first, not with the traumas she’s been through, but watching her now from behind the one-way mirror, he starts to question that assessment. The techs told him the girl on the other side of the glass hasn’t said a word since they brought her in. But the more she shares, the more the agents have to wonder what she’s still hiding… But the girl, known only as Maya, proves to be a puzzle herself.Īs her story twists and turns, slowly shedding light on life in the Butterfly Garden, Maya reveals old grudges, new saviours, and horrific tales of a man who’d go to any length to hold beauty captive. FBI agents Victor Hanoverian and Brandon Eddison are tasked with piecing together one of the most stomach-churning cases of their careers. When the garden is discovered, a survivor is brought in for questioning. Overseeing it all is the Gardener, a brutal, twisted man obsessed with capturing and preserving his lovely specimens. In this garden grow luscious flowers, shady trees…and a collection of precious “butterflies”-young women who have been kidnapped and intricately tattooed to resemble their namesakes. Near an isolated mansion lies a beautiful garden. TITLE & AUTHOR: The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison
