The Butterfly Garden (The Collector Book 1)

Near an isolated mansion sits a garden containing kidnapped young women who have been tattooed to resemble butterflies. A man known as the Gardener has orchestrated this collection and holds the women captive. When authorities discover the garden, they bring in a survivor named Maya for questioning. FBI agents Victor Hanoverian and Brandon Eddison investigate one of their most disturbing cases. Maya, however, proves difficult to understand—her account of life in the garden is fragmented and raises questions about what she may be withholding. As Maya's story unfolds, she describes old conflicts, people who helped her, and the Gardener's obsessive methods for keeping his captives. The agents must determine how much of her testimony to trust as they work to understand the full scope of what occurred.
