Vermont Ghost Busters: 3 Devaney and Hoag Paranormal Mysteries

2015 New England Book Festival Award. Steve Burt's three Devaney & Hoag Vermont ghost-buster mystery stories, previously published in three different books, are collected here in one large-print volume. "The Witness Tree," "The French Acre," and "The Chambers Crypt" are all set in Norwich, Vermont. Hoag is a Valley News reporter who is frequently called upon to investigate unusual (paranormal) stories; Devaney is his retired-teacher father-in-law who tags along to snap pictures. Dr. Burt is the author of many books with New England settings, including the Bram Stoker Award-winning Stories to Chill the Heart series (Odd Lot, Even Odder, Oddest Yet, and Wicked Odd), the FreeKs paranormal teen detectives series (FreeK Camp, FreeK Show, and FreeK Week, winner of the Florida Book Festival Grand Prize and the New England Book Festival Award). His inspirational New England holiday collection, A Christmas Dozen, was a national bestseller.
