Follow the Money: A Month in the Life of a Ten-Dollar Bill

'Fantastic debut' Time Out 5-Star Review 'Its randomness is its joy' The Independent 'A picaresque travelogue about chasing an idea through down-home modern America.' The Times What do you do if you want to get underneath the skin of a country to understand its people and feel its heartbeat? You can follow the rest of the tourists or you can take the advice of Watergate reporter Bob Woodward's source 'Deep Throat' and 'follow the money.' Starting out in Lebanon Kansas - the geographical centre of America - journalist Steve Boggan did just that by setting free a ten-dollar-bill and accompanying it on an epic journey for thirty days and thirty nights through six states across 3000 miles armed only with a sense of humour and a small and increasingly grubby set of clothes. As he cuts crops with farmers in Kansas pursues a repo-woman from Colorado gets wasted with a blues band in Arkansas and hangs out at a quarterback's mansion in St Louis Boggan enters the lives of ordinary people as they receive - and pass on - the bill. What emerges is a chaotic affectionate and funny portrait of a modern-day America that tourists rarely see.
