Oprah Winfrey goofed when she picked James Frey's A Million Little Pieces for her book club. If she'd wanted to feature a true-crime "memoir" written as if by a pathological liar on acid, she could have done no better than select A Fool's Gold by Portland author and erstwhile lawyer Bill Merritt. The difference is, Merritt's convoluted tale of lost treasure, found marijuana and legal shenanigans on the Oregon coast is so patently outrageous, so deliriously funny, so rich in detail it might just be true.
If this story is true, one of Merritt's clients may have found the Hidden Treasures of Neahkahnie Mountain
