Who hasn't imagined finding a million dollars?
Joey Coyle was down and out -- the affable, boyish South Philadelphian hadn't found dock work in months, he was living with his ailing mother, and he was fighting a drug habit and what appeared like a lifetime of bouncing into and out of misfortune. One morning, while cruising the streets just blocks from his home, fate took a turn worthy of Hollywood when he spotted a curious yellow tub he thought might make a good toolbox. It contained $1.2 million in unmarked bills -- casino money that had just fallen off the trunk of the armored truck.
Detective Pat Laurenzi, by making use of the FBI, was working night and day to track it down, Joey Coyle, meanwhile, was off on the bungling, swashbuckling misadventure, sharing his windfall with everyone from his girlfriend to total strangers to both neighborhood kids who drove him past it. To cover up the amount of money, Joey turned to the local mob bos -- a shadowy, fearsome man who may or may well not have helped launder it. But as adrenaline-filled nights started taking their toll, Joey Coyle's dream-come-true evolved into a nightmare: Whom could he trust?
By one of your most evocative and versatile chroniclers of American life, Finders Keepers is not only a gripping true life thriller, it's the amazing tale of a typical man faced with a fantastic dilemma, and the fascinating reactions -- from complicity to concern to betrayal -- of the friends, family, and neighbors to whom he turns.
