SUPPOSE you see something out in a field, it looks like confetti. Or you watch as a package falls from a tree. Or maybe you step out the back door and something is very different.
YOU JUST FOUND MONEY!
Double fistfuls of greenbacks, armloads of legal tender - get a box! There's too much to carry! What's the first thing you'd do? Who would you tell? How would your life change?
Wright's breakout novel asks these exciting questions then explores the possibilities through the lives of compelling characters. A small town Sheriff, newly-weds, a preacher, a diving instructor and a detective - the lines between the good and bad guys are blurred like cheap prescription eyeglasses.
As we fall down the rabbit hole we are faced with much larger questions, and the answers are fascinating. Where does money come from? How is its value determined? What happens to money (and us) when its value changes. And the most important question of all - who is the puppet master pulling on all those strings?
Once in a great while we come across a book that is hard to put down, a page turner, a sleep depriver. A great story well told. Characters and dialog you'll remember. A novel that does what a novel is supposed to do - Entertain!

Vince Taglierri, an Atlanta detective is disillusioned. With his life. With his career. With the world. He's been there and he's done that. What's left? Not much.

Unusual characters, misleading information, two approaching hurricanes and a talking bird take the stage in this fast paced adventure through the world of high stakes thievery. An adventure that will challenge your own value system.
One thing remains constant, if given the OPPORTUNITY, people will look out for their own self-interests. Especially when confronted with,
