ASHEVILLE, N.C. - s4story -- Jan-Carol Publishing, Inc., of Johnson City, Tennessee, is proud to announce the release of The Best Doctor in Town by author Amelia Townsend.

Amelia Townsend has spent most of her life living throughout Virginia and North Carolina. She has worked as a newspaper and TV reporter, freelance producer and director, writer, and now PR hack. She is a proud graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Townsend's most impressive accomplishments are her children — a son and daughter — who managed to turn into fine young adults, despite her attempts to raise them. Her first novel, Keepsakes for the Heart, was nominated by the N.C. Historical Association for the prestigious Ragan Old North State Award for non-fiction.

The Best Doctor in Town is set in Southwest Virginia and inspired by actual events. Townsend's latest novel follows the story of a small town's most revered doctor, who may just be a serial killer. A local police officer with a tarnished reputation, a reporter who manipulated facts, and the doctor's chief intern, who may be a thief, have pieces of the puzzle. Yet no one in authority believes the great doctor could be responsible. All the while, patients are dying.

The Best Doctor in Town received a rave review from 13-time mystery novelist Linda Hudson Hoagland, "Amelia Townsend spins a tall tale that captures my attention from page one. Doc Briggs is the loved, local doctor who is out to help everyone heal, but Dr. McKay thinks the praise and love have not been earned from all the patients, especially those up in years. How can Dr. McKay disparage such a wonderful gift to the community? Read, learn, and love this tall tale."

The Best Doctor in Town is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and through Jan-Carol Publishing.
