Woman in the Painting

A storm is coming. And something inside the painting wants to be free.When journalist Evelyn Wright arrives at the isolated Blackwater Inn to investigate a twelve-year-old disappearance, she expects to uncover a forgotten tragedy.She does not expect to see a woman in a red dress walking through the hotel lobby.The cameras never record her.The guests never speak of her.But Evelyn sees her.The stranger appears only during violent storms, always emerging from an antique painting that has hung in the inn for more than a century. A painting that should be impossible to change.Then Evelyn discovers the truth hidden behind the artwork.The woman has a name.The artist who painted her disappeared.And the final brushstroke was never completed.As Evelyn follows the trail of old diaries, missing records, and a forgotten artist's darkest secret, she realizes the woman in the painting is not trying to haunt the inn.She is waiting for someone.Someone who can finish what was started.But some doors should never be opened.Because freeing what is trapped inside the painting may require a sacrifice Evelyn is not prepared to make.
