The Butterfly A Novel

Summary___________________________________ In The Butterfly, Paul M. Hedeen takes us back to the fall of 1963, a few weeks before President Kennedy’s assassination. An obscure émigré Russian professor dies of a stroke—or so it is believed.

Praise “Humanity’s story zooms into unexpected and shadowy directions while Paul M. Hedeen, our remarkable sleuth, trails those diverging and converging footprints, unveils elusive road signs, and sneaks up on secrets that have hidden behind terror, unease, sighs of relief, and love.” — Carolyn Chute, Guggenheim and PEN award winner and author of many best-selling novels, including The Beans of Egypt, Maine “The Butterfly is a novel that does not blink. It tells of the experiences of prominent Nazi figures, like Eva Braun, and it envisions how the experience of WWII was felt by characters long after the war’s end. This is a book that not only accounts for how Nazism came to be but can imagine how it has never quite left us. It is a unsettling and powerful novel.” — Jim O’Loughlin author of Dean Dean Dean Dean “…engaging…as packed as an ammo train and almost as threateningly explosive…” — Gary Eller author of Thin Ice and Other Risks “…fascinating…sheds light on a difficult period in human history…” — Fred L. Holmes, director of Dakota

When the student falls in with the troubled daughter of the Nazi elite, she becomes his lover, guide, and tormentor as both are irresistibly drawn into the dark aftermath of World War II.
