  Twilight Falls is just your standard northern California town, right? It's not a playground for anything dark and unfathomable, right? 
  “Hauntingly poetic.” ~ Jeff Soyer, Alphecca Review 
  “What a page turner! … Robinson is a fine writer, with an enviable gift for the poetic turn of phrase.” ~ Kitty Burns Florey, author of “Solos” and “The Writing Master” 
  A provocative painter named Max Higgins is on the verge of local fame. What is the secret to his work’s haunting allure? He collects photos of missing persons and incorporates them into his paintings, giving the faces, as he puts it, a “new home in his work.” This fascination stems from the bizarre disappearances of people he knew growing up, including his father. 
  When someone recognizes a face in one of his paintings, he’s suddenly thrust into a journey as surreal as anything from his brush, a journey into his past that will irrevocably determine his future. 
  EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the second book in the chilling "Enigma of Twilight Falls" series, where dark, terrifying, unimaginable events will rise up to haunt your dreams.
