Skylar

A rogue and a charmer, everybody loves young Skylar Whitfield—all the local females, at least. The rest of the adult population of Greendowns County, Tennessee, is split down the middle—and his preppy Yankee cousin Jonathan downright hates him. And now that the battered-to-death body of Skylar's beauty queen ex-girlfriend has turned up, Sheriff Pepp Culpepper wants to lock the churchgoing Lothario away for good. Since this is one jam he can't sweet-talk his way out of, Skylar will have to take more drastic measures—which include multiple jail breaks and a potentially lethal intrusion into the *real* killer's world—dragging disinclined Jonathan along for the ride…no matter where in Hell it takes them.
