Ghost Hunting with Bram & Nozomi
A funny, frightening continuing series about two investigators, one downtown Tampa paranormal office, and a television show that brings the world’s strangest cases directly to their door.
The series engine
A complete haunting every book. A larger life between cases.
Each novel centers on a self-contained supernatural mystery with its own location, rules, history, and ending. Across the series, Bram and Nozomi’s working partnership grows through their Franklin Street–area office, book publicity, personal lives, and the pressures of producing Ghost Hunting with Bram & Nozomi for television.
The show expands their reach—and may make their names easier for supernatural forces to find. Malik organizes the incoming cases while Barbara protects Bram’s writing career and argues with the people who want spectacle at the expense of truth.
