WINCHESTER, Va., June 26, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- In the early 1980's, a violent kidnapping left several people dead on the C&O Canal Towpath near Georgetown, Washington, D.C. Several days later, a parachutist is found dead, hanging upside down from a tree in the Virginia countryside. Could there be a connection between these two seemingly unrelated events? Discover as the answers unravel in Moneybags, a gripping novel written by Tulley Holland.

Together, they attempt to escape the tentacles of a billion-dollar Drug Empire. Standing in their way, however, is a corrupt deputy sheriff and a philanthropist with a dark secret.
