Only a Fool's Gold

By: Arbuckle, Geoffrey

Dan Maddox is forty-seven, fourteen months unemployed, and driving his family to a motel he can't afford in Myrtle Beach. A last-ditch vacation to save a marriage that's running out of reasons to continue. The motel is a wreck. Room 109 smells like 1962. The bedspread has a stain. The safe has a green eye. And in the morning, inside that safe, there is a gold bar. Every morning. Without fail. As long as someone sleeps in the bed. Every single night. Eight hundred thousand dollars a day. The price: his presence. His nights. His life. What begins as a miracle becomes a schedule. The schedule becomes a prison. The prison becomes an empire built around a room he can never leave. His wife goes home. His kids grow up. The gold keeps coming. A story about what happens when a man finds exactly what he thinks he wants - and discovers what it costs.
