When things get weird, the Alan Nearing detective agency starts investigating. Though the police are also called in and try to take over the investigation, Alan decides to follow the clues on his own: a stolen pie, a mysterious face in an attic window, a few missing items, and some cryptic messages. Is the poltergeist just a prankster, or are there sinister forces at work? At the same time, Alan has a more personal mystery to deal with. There's a chance that his father, who disappeared 9 years ago, might still be alive. "The Pioneer Poltergeist" is set in cottage country - a landscape of lakes, rocks, trees and tourists. The Laingford Pioneer Village Park offers the three friends, and readers, a chance to learn about life in pioneer days, and to live it as well. |
