The Butterfly Forest: (Mystery/Thriller) (Sean O'Brien)

He hid the old pencil-drawn map for 40 years. The guards never found it. After 40 years in San Quentin, Luke Palmer leaves with a state-issued suit, 100 dollars to buy a bus ticket and a map that will lead to a promise and into the heart of a dark forest. "The Butterfly Forest is a high octane thriller that is part mystery, part love story and full bore great storytelling that you'll think about days after you've left the woods." - John Davenport (Orlando, FL) College graduate student Molly Monroe is about to release rare butterflies not far from where the FBI used 4,000 bullets in a shootout to kill Ma Barker and one of her gangster sons in 1936. Molly snaps a picture that will frame something she never sees coming. Sean O'Brien does see something -- a predator. Between the sea of cars in a Walmart parking lot. Walking quickly. Stalking two women. As O€Brien tries to prevent the abduction, he opens the door to a new relationship. And he opens a dark door to a horror that is secluded within the forest. Bodies are discovered, and police think an old man is responsible. O€Brien believes it may be something else, something hidden deep in the forest. To prove it, he€s forced to find it. He follows veiled tracks that lead him farther into the woods where an evil from the past intersects with a frightening presence to from a volatile trap with only one way out. "ABSOLUTELY MESMERIZING!!!!!" - Anthony B. Thomas (Louisville, KY) If you like the works of writers like Lee Child, Robert Crais, James Lee Burke and Michael Connelly, you'll enjoy Tom Lowe's THE BUTTERFLY FOREST.
