Butterfly Boy

Avery Barks dedicates all of her spare time to training search and rescue dogs and helping the animals. That dedication soon lands her unemployed and out of options. While helping an elderly friend, Avery and her butterfly loving dog, Chevy, find the unthinkable - a dead body. The sleepy North Carolina mountain town she calls home is shocked and shaken to the core. When Avery realizes that the dead man is the very man that got her fired, she knows she's landed smack dab in the middle of chaos. With her trusty canine companion by her side, Avery must follow the clues and solve the murder mystery before she winds up on the suspect list.
