There’s a public cemetery in every city. This one is called Butterfly Cemetery. We rarely see the death of a butterfly since they go inside the cemetery to wait for their death. It is a place where spirits meet, it is a place where heaven and hell meet. A car crash survivor left behind a recording and a diary but has since gone missing. A college student, Shang Xiaodie, went on a search for the truth. Is anything inside the Butterfly Cemetery real? Is there such a thing as the half-man-half-butterfly?!

A criminal mastermind makes a bold move against a wealthy client to put himself in a position to retire in comfort. He has no idea what he's up against when a young widow, desperate to make ends meet, sets her eyes on earning the bounty set on his head.
***
Newly widowed housewife Melody Scott needs to earn some major cash, fast. When her bright and busy children learn that a priceless ruby bracelet has been stolen and a six-figure reward is being offered, they convince her to try to do what the police, museum security, and the best private investigators have failed to do. Working against them is a notorious thief who has met people from around the world, but who has never once encountered a woman like Melody Scott. When the sweet innocence of the Scott family clashes against criminal forces more dangerous than they ever imagined, Melody is all too aware that a mom's got to do what a mom's got to do to protect her family.
The Widow, Melody Scott is a 2021 Watty Award Winner!
