Weston Mayhew needs help and cousin Asey Mayo is the person to do it. “Old Home Week” is happening and that means droves of tourists will be arriving in Billingsgate. Not something usual for this sleepy town.

Leading up to this celebratory week, there have been strange happenings — stolen keys, gun shots, fires and murder. Asey’s reputation for crime solving is the only solution.

Mayhew thinks someone is out to kill him and possibly the other two selectmen of the town. Asey is given a visitors’ badge, police badge and state police badge and the authority to back them up. Mayhew just doesn’t want the police to be involved. This seems a bit strange, but Asey reserves the right to bring the police in, if there comes a need.

Asey feel there is more below the surface that is going on and starts finding threads that do lead to more. Such as a corpse found in Hell Hollow, for a starter, that needs to be kept hushed up until after the week-long celebration. Then there is blackmail, embezzling and more! Asey really has his hands full in this case! ( )
