Why this story

The Acapulco Gold began with an interest in men who mistake escape for redemption. Paul Coles has spent a lifetime cutting corners—financially, emotionally, morally—and believes one clean disappearance will fix everything. It won’t. This is a chase story about money and the damage it does, about the lies we inherit, and the moment when running finally costs more than staying put.

★★★★★

“Paul wanted to ignore his past. Three failed marriages had drained him and he was trying to survive, but sometimes that required a little dishonest gain. Suddenly his carefully laid plans start to collapse. When a dying man from his past gives him clues to a supposed lost treasure, Paul decides it's time to run. But he isn't sure if he is running from something or towards something.

Great characters and great adventures!
