This is a BRAND NEW edition of The Butterfly Conspiracy. To celebrate the publication of The Monarch Graveyard, which takes place four years later, I have gone back and completely rewritten The Butterfly Conspiracy. Several new subplots have been added along with a totally new ending. Stephen Moorehouse, having just graduated from a very exclusive prep school, is very excited to be traveling to his uncle's mansion, perched high on an isolated Lake Superior shore, deep in the woods of northern Michigan. Stephen is hoping his famous uncle, known for directing spooky horror movies, will have many Hollywood starlets visiting his estate for the summer. Stephen's long train journey from New York City to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan takes a dangerous turn when it appears he is being followed by a mobster in a wrinkled suit.Once he arrives at his uncle's place, Stephen attempts to find out who may have followed him and why. His detective work is interrupted when a brutal murder takes place and he becomes the main suspect. Stephen needs the help of his uncle's beautiful assistant to help him understand a string of perplexing clues as they navigate the spooky corridors of his uncle's mansion and the dangerous trails weaving through the deep northern Michigan woods.

Stephen Moorehouse has finished his first year of art school back east and is excited about returning to his Uncle Phillip's estate in northern Michigan. When he finally arrives, Jeanette, his uncle's beautiful assistant, and the woman he has waited all year to see, is busy catering to a house filled with Hollywood people. Everyone is celebrating Phillip Kahle's return to producing, after the shocking murder of his girlfriend the year before. Stephen's hoping for some quiet time with his uncle and Jeanette when they make a visit to picturesque Mackinac Island. At first, the Victorian homes and horse drawn carriages provide a much calmer backdrop from the party scene back at the mansion, but as they check into the Peacock Inn, their vacation starts down a very different path. Exploiting his grandfather's fame as a world renowned spiritualist, the brooding Edward Van Dyke has turned an aging Victorian mansion into the new "must stay" spot on the island. His nightly s ances have become the talk of the town, but recently they have evolved into something much darker. When Stephen encounters a person from Jeanette's past, the dim corridors of the Peacock Inn turn deadly and provide the final answer to The Peacock Prophecy.
