Money to Burn

by E. M. Goldman

Matt and Lewis are expecting a long, slow summer, without jobs and without much money. But then they find a suitcase containing $400,000--money that must have belonged to the drug trafficker who died outside of town. Maybe they should turn the money in--but Lewis needs new glasses, and wouldn't mind giving up his second-hand girl's bike, either. But if they keep the money, how will Matt and Lewis explain where they got it? Things might be easier if Matt's father weren't dating a member of the local police force. Or if Lewis had a room to himself, instead of sharing one with his baby nephew, Joey. But then Matt and Lewis hatch a plan, a plan that will let them take a trip to Disneyland and do whatever else they can think of with all that cash. Unless, of course, other people know about the money. And those people come looking for it.... In this suspenseful novel, E. M. Goldman has created a tightly paced story that's laced with humor and full of surprises--including the discovery that sometimes money may be a lot more trouble than it's worth.
