Twilight of Echelon

“I’d rather laugh in bad taste than cry in good taste.”

That’s how Josie Marshall deals with the deathCelebrated Canadian artist Robert Pasternak has created the entire world of Echelon. But what do we know about Echelon? Nothing and neither do the four exceptional authors who are writing about Robert’s gorgeous silver-toned illustrations. Each author has been challenged with the magnificent task of writing about Echelon without knowing a single thing about it. All they have are Robert’s illustrations to go by. To make things even more interesting none of the authors know what the other is writing about. The end result is a world told from four unique perspectives with four distinct narratives. A singular work in scope, design, narrative, layout, and execution. By far one of the most exciting and groundbooking graphic novels ever released.
Edit of her detective husband, Gabe, found naked outside their home on the beach with a bullet in his brain. Everyone calls it suicide. Josie knows it isn’t . . . but fears it could be. After all, she had provided Gabe with a motive. The clues are so strong that even Josie begins to believe Gabe shot himself. But when a horrific slaying occurs literally at her feet, she knows Gabe was murdered, and her determination to prove it carries her toward dark corners of the beach strip and exposes the darker sides of its residents. Fending off her fears with humour and outrage, she encounters a drug-crazed drifter, an organized-crime boss with romance on his mind, a woman with a murderous past and a pervert who’s been frequenting her garden shed. When a chance remark leads Josie to the astonishing truth of Gabe’s death, her story takes a shocking turn that no one could have seen coming.
