Mystery On Main Street Mayhem

By Bailey Mapp

In the back roads and sleepy town square of 1970s Pontotoc Ridge, Mississippi-where folks still pay the doctor with fresh eggs or a mess of catfish-trouble always seems to sniff out twelve-year-old Billy Matthews. With his wild blond curls, scraped-up knees, and a curiosity that often outruns good sense, Billy charges headlong into every mystery the town can muster. Whether it's a circus pickpocket, a ghost rattling chains in the old mill, or a highwayman's hidden treasure, before he knows it, he's in over his head-and the only one who can pull him out is his grandfather, the legendary Doc Rayburn.
For forty years, Doc Rayburn has practiced medicine in Pontotoc Ridge, Mississippi, delivering half the town-often for a couple of fresh chickens or a dozen eggs. At sixty-five, the six-foot-six surgeon still cuts an imposing figure in his rumpled surgical greens and ramrod-straight posture. Locals scarcely notice his quirks, but strangers sometimes mistake his quiet, unkempt ways for slow thinking. Nothing could be further from the truth: Doc is sharp as a scalpel and always knows just what the patient needs.
