Greg Mitchell had everything, position, wealth, a beautiful wife and a glittering future. Acclaimed as UK's businessman of the decade. In the crash of a judge's gavel he had nothing and nobody to support him, losing it all through the treachery of his wife's family and those closest to him. Instead of fighting back, he ran away to the United States, ostensibly to find himself. While following a diversion through the small, Nebraskan town of Bamptonville, Greg ran down Jesse White - a 17 year old farm boy and high school student. Jesse was hurrying across the road, late for an interview for a part time position in a grocery store. Although he had nothing and an urgent need for money to pay his way at school, Jesse declined Greg's offer of cash. 'Nah, Mister It was as much my fault as yours.


' The boy's honesty and integrity changed Greg's life. He decided to stay and help the boy by setting up a small, waste oil to diesel plant to part fund his costs. A move distrusted by many in town, and unwelcome by others - dirty tricks and rumors proliferated. This is the fourth book in The Stopover series. It starts with Bamptonville in turmoil. Its five-man oligarchy is in disarray and turning on each other. They are agreed on one thing - Greg Mitchell is the root cause of their disruption. The local crime-boss lurks in the shadows, watching and gloating.


Greg's departure would clear the remaining obstacle hindering his future plans for Jesse. Vilified, maligned, misunderstood and alone, but stiffened in resolve by past betrayal, Greg ignores the town people's hostility. He's done with running away. Wayne Fisher arrives from Florida with a proposition big enough to persuade Greg to leave Bamptonville. Wayne needs a CEO of Greg's caliber to bring a project to market, the time for which is now: a venture promising to yield more riches eventually than Apple, Microsoft and Facebook combined. To join Wayne's company, Greg would have to leave behind Jesse and another group of downtrodden people he's promised to help. Dilemma Shall he break his word to them and leave, or keep his word and turn down the best business offer he'll ever get in his lifetime?.
