Butterfly River

By Luc Van Huiszen

When Robbie Olsen, a veteran suffering from PTSD, discovers the body of a 16-year-old girl while

trekking with his dog in the remote Appalachian Mountains, his life takes an unexpected and

dangerous turn. Feeling alienated from society and grappling with suicidal thoughts after returning

from the war, he is determined to uncover the truth behind the young girl's death. Robbie sees it as a

way to find redemption for his mistakes in Afghanistan that cost the lives of several of his men. His

resolve to bring the killer to justice takes him into a nearby town with a dark and seedy history and

where he is torn between the affections of two beautiful women.

In Butterfly River, Robbie finds friendship, love, and danger as he investigates a mysterious murder

and digs deeper into the complex relationships of a small town run by two brothers; one a ruthless

killer and the other who is independent, wild, and involved in an incestuous relationship with their

sister. Robbie soon learns that the murdered teenager was far from the innocent girl next door and

enters a world of sex and drugs tied to a Russian oligarch's son and discovers that the teenager

might have been killed for stealing a laptop containing incriminating evidence of politicians engaging

in sex with underage girls.

Robbie's journey, maneuvering the dangerous boundaries between the Russian syndicate,

assassins, and the mountain clan, takes him on an unexpected journey of healing, recovery, and

love in the most surprising of ways.
