BOOK REVIEW: TWO DOLLAR BILL

Paul Cunningham writes:

Two Dollar Bill book cover You had an item on a few weeks back about two dollar bills. In about 2005 Stuart Woods, a writer of light mysteries, produced a fictional account centered around one Two Dollar Bill. Bill was a murderous sociopath who had bought $400 million worth of consecutively numbered $2 bills, at a discount, of course. He had the nick-name of Two Dollar Bill because he spent large amounts of the $2 bills at restaurants, gas stations, golf courses, and wherever else a sociopath might spend such pocket money. While the book is a good read, the mention of $2 bills takes up less than 1% of the whole story!

Thanks for letting us know about this. I added an image of the book's cover and below is a description from Amazon. -Editor

Two-Dollar Bill delivers all the storytelling twists and whip-smart banter readers have come to love in Stuart Woods's thrillers, as suave Manhattan cop-turned-lawyer Stone Barrington is back on his home turf caught between a filthy rich conman-who's just become his client-and a beautiful prosecutor.

Please let us know where we can get a discount on $2 bills. Do they discount bulk purchases of $100 bills, too? That's an interesting fictional world.

You know you're getting old when you ask about the money and not the beautiful prosecutor... -Editor
