Books like Millions by Frank Cottrell Boyce
Damian and Anthony find themselves clutching a windfall after a botched train robbery just before Britain's currency switches to the euro.

Their jokes about "being rich is a mug's game" hide a real dilemma: time, money, and conscience collide in a race against a ticking clock.
