How do you think this sounds as an idea for my second full length novel.?

Question

alright, how do you think this sounds for a book idea...

A homeless man and his dog stumble upon a briefcase full of money as they are pushing their cart through park. The homeless man takes it, figuring that his luck is finally turning around and goes to a motel room. The money turns out to have been sitting there as part of a large drug deal that was supposed to be a simple swap. The two drug lords then begin to feud against each other and also send men out for the homeless man. The story will focus mainly on the homeless man and his dog, though, and their escape from the two gangs.

The book will be a thriller/horror. Dean Koontz style.

Answer 1

     Sounds like a great idea.  The only thing is, why would it be sitting there without anyone watching it?  If it's a drug deal, then the buyer would bring the cash, the dealer would bring the drugs, and they'd do a straight swap.  Why not a ransom?  Or, perhaps better still, the payoff to a Mafia hit man?

     Whatever, you have a good plot there.  Should be a great story.

Good luck
