A retirement home for well-off creatives. A puzzling murder. Can they catch the killer before more seniors die?

When Inspector Paul Manziuk is told to let his newbie partner take more responsibility on their next case, no one was prepared for what appears to be a locked-room murder scene in a unique retirement home for well-known professionals.

Death in a seniors' complex is pretty standard, but not this kind of death and not in Toronto's exclusive high-rise for elderly creatives. The detectives pay close attention to the staff and residents of the penthouse floor, including an attention-hungry Broadway star, a worldclass tenor, and a ballerina with a dark past. But every time the partners think they have a lead, it goes cold.

To solve the murder, veteran and newbie have to work together to follow a convoluted trail that might even lead to an unsolved murder from the distant past.

Shadow of a Butterfly is the third standalone novel in a series of classic whodunnits set in modern-day Toronto. If you like twisty plots, suspects with secrets, and relatable detectives, then you'll love J.A. Menzies' artistic mystery.
