Synopsis In 1981, an unemployed drug addict named Joey Coyle found over a million dollars in unmarked bills. Before he was arrested en route to Acapulco, he had given away much of the money to friends, and was lauded by the media as a saintly hero. In a series of newspaper articles, collected here, Mark Bowden took another view: that Coyle was a hopeless loser who would have come to a bad end, money or no money.
