The Phantom of Norphlet

language (BWM Books July 7, 2015)
It all started with mysterious writing on the town's water tank. There is a specter amongst you. Richard and John Clayton were puzzled, but like the rest of the town they just thought it was schoolboys fooling around. But as the days passed and more messages appeared everyone realized the "specter" or Phantom was evil, and was out to destroy the little village. When FBI agents arrived in town, and a huge reward was posted, the boys could only see dollar signs, and they joined the hunt for the Phantom.

It's a madhouse of FBI agents, 14-year-old boys, and the towns’ characters colliding in hilarious series of mis-adventures that will keep you enthralled and laughing until the shocking ending.
This novel is Southern Historical fiction set in 1945 during the Second World War. Previous novels of this series have been favorably compared to Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The 13 book series has garnered numerous five star Amazon reviews. The series is a nostalgic look at a time when families huddled by the radio, with young boys listening to The Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet. Later the adults would tune in famous newscaster Walter Winchell; "Good evening Mr. and Mrs. North and South America and all the ships at sea....this just in...General Patton's army continues to march across Germany..." The numerous Amazon Five Star Reviews have all been from adults, but the readers of these books have ranged from teens to senior adults. The series is truly a book for all ages. Several reviewers have called Richard Mason "Americas' New Mark Twain."
