THE ONLY GOOD YANKEE "Escapist fare that's as good as it gets."    —Publishers Weekly Mirabeau, Texas, is a dynamite little town—especially when toolsheds, doghouses, and mailboxes mysteriously begin to explode. So far, the sole victim is local librarian Jordan Poteet, struck by a chunk of his girlfriend's mailbox. Yet Jordan gets an even bigger jolt when his ex-girlfriend, Lorna, arrives from Boston. She's come to scoop up everybody's riverfront property—and if possible, Jordan as well. With pro-development and die-hard environmentalists all foaming at the mouth, tempers become downright murderous. And the unfortunate victim is Lorna's handsome colleague, garroted with a piece of barbed wire at the Mirabeau B&B. Dynamite, lust, murder...what next? Mirabeau braces for the worst and gets it—while Jordan, his true love Candace, and police chief Junebug Moncrief light out after a killer... Buy the book from Amazon, Barnes & Noble or an independent bookstore. PRAISE FOR THE ONLY GOOD YANKEE Nominated for the Violet Crown Award for Best Novel. "Jeff Abbott is a phenomenal talent—and Jordan Poteet is an amateur sleuth with a fresh new voice."    —Sandra West Prowell, author of When Wallflowers Die
