`Filled with zest and charm ... A wickedly humorous whodunnit with a style all McDonald's own' Booklist `Sklyar Whitfield, a country boy folk hero who mixes Robin Hood's populism with randy sexuality and backwoods smarts' Publisher's Weekly

Skylar Whitfield, a twenty-year-old hunk of Southern manhood, can't help it if he oozes charm and testosterone. After all, he's been doing it all his life back home in Greendown County. But his arrival in Boston looks set to liven up Labor Day weekend ust a little too much for his rich Yankee relations' taste.

In fact, what with rape and robbery, looming bankruptcy and near-fatal car crashes, it's almost an anticlimax when a teenage neighbour is found dead on a river bank. Can Skylar, out of his stride here in Yankeeland, act quickly enough to apprehend the killer, or will all that laid-back Southern cool be his undoing?

Skylar in Yankeeland teems with action, suspense, charm, laughs, and Southern cool in damp Yankee heat.
