What would you do to earn a $10 million profit? Would you be willing to compromise or alter your principles? Hawkins Neilson is about to find out in THE MOST EXPENSIVE MISTRESS IN JEFFERSON COUNTY.

Hawk has drained his bank account and borrowed more to close this transaction. Can he make it through this last week before closing? On the day of closing, the Indians demand an additional $1 million dollars for one of their properties. Hawk Explodes. This could change his and their lives forever.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Most entertaining, uplifting book I've read all year. Makes me wish he would write a novel a month. Having spent a good deal of my life in real estate, I can feel for the protagonist as he gets caught up in trying to close that large of a transaction, knowing he has every chip he owns in the deal. --Don Jack, Realtor
I tried, but I couldn't put it down. I ate lunch reading it, then Scotch at 5:00, then dinner, alone at the dining room table with the lights full on, and finished it in bed. What a ride. Gimmie another one. --Darry Gemmel, retired real estate investor --Darry Gemmel, retired real estate investor
Misko sets the tension in motion early, immediately increases it to fever pitch, then sustains it as one escalating crescendo. A variety of three-dimensional and sympathetic characters drive the plot to a realistic and entirely satisfactory conclusion. --Leonard Bird, author FOLDING PAPER CRANES --Leonard Bird, author FOLDING PAPER CRANES

Wow,
By Aaron Reule (Wilmington, NC) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Most Expensive Mistress in Jefferson County (Paperback)
This book started off kind of boring, but as the transaction came closer to close, I find myself knowing these people. I serioulsy feel like I know these people and what they had to go through to do such a large deal. Should be required reading for anybody in real estate worth their grain of salt. Another great thing, considering, I lothe reading fictional books, is that it took me only a couple of hours to read. Extremely inspiring
