Bookroo's summary
In Brody's Junction, Vermont, a peaceful getaway turns chaotic for George, Bess, and their friend. UFO sightings and mysterious abductions draw a media frenzy, leaving the town in turmoil. As strange clues suggest extraterrestrial involvement, the trio must unravel the truth before panic takes over. Will they find hard facts amidst the speculation, or is something otherworldly at play?
From the publisher
When George, Bess and I headed to Brody’s Junction, Vermont, to help George’s cousin with her café’s website and enjoy a brief vacation, we were looking forward to some downtime – not to landing in the middle of a media circus. Hundreds of tourists have invaded the town to watch purported UFO sightings. Odder still are reports of townspeople being abducted, and the strange clues that seem to point to little green men as the culprits. All this speculation has the town going wild, and I hope to have a close encounter with some hard facts before things spin entirely out of control….
