Thriller Paranormal - Supernatural
Set in New York City and New Jersey on the cusp of the
financial crisis, Ghosts of Bergen County is a literary
mystery with supernatural elements. Gil Ferko is a private-equity lieutenant who commutes to
Manhattan from the New Jersey suburbs. His wife, Mary Beth,
has become a shut-in since a hit-and-run accident killed
their infant daughter. When Ferko reconnects with Jen Yoder,
a former high school classmate, Jen introduces him to
heroin. As his dependency on the drug grows, his downward
spiral puts his life in danger and his career in jeopardy. Mary Beth has also found an escape―first in prescription
drugs that numb her senses, then in the companionship of a
mysterious girl who heightens them. A ghost? Mary Beth
believes so. And Jen is also haunted. Years ago she
witnessed a man she had just met fall from a rooftop. She
walked away from the accident and has been haunted since by
the question of why she did so. As her quest to rectify that mistake starts to collide with
the mystery of the hit-and-run driver who killed Ferko and
Mary Beth’s daughter, all of the characters are forced to
face the fine line between fate and happenstance. Dana Cann’s debut novel is a tautly paced and intricately
plotted story in which collective burdens manifest into
hauntings.
