Shadow of a Butterfly: The Case of the Harmless Old Woman: A Paul Manziuk & Jacquie Ryan Mystery

A veteran detective. An up-and-comer. They'll need to flip the script to stop a retirement home murderer...Jacqueline Ryan thought she had everything figured out. But between the detective constable's insufferable partner and her growing relationship with a pro ballplayer, she wonders if her next case should be her last...

Inspector Paul Manziuk thinks he might be past his prime. When he's told to let his newbie partner take the lead on the next case, he's worried that the murder scene at a retirement home could be a bad omen...

Manziuk knows that death in a seniors' complex is pretty standard but not in Toronto's ritziest high-rise for elderly creatives. He and Ryan pay close attention to an attention-hungry Broadway star, a thriller writer, and a ballerina with a dark past. But every time the partners think they have a lead, it goes cold...

To solve the murder, the veteran must learn to work under the newbie before another resident becomes a victim...
