Everyone needs a guardian angel—except when that angel is cloaked in vengeance, immune to human qualities of remorse or compassion, seemingly carrying a torch for justice, yet driven by a tenacious indignation.
Set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of San Francisco and all of its fleeting secrets, Michael Doyle attempts to reboot his life, only to see death drop inches from his feet. Awakened from a seemingly catatonic state and emboldened by a spirited friendship from his past, the former journalist is compelled to chase down the truth behind a murder--and the natural beauty connected to it.
But what he uncovers isn't what it appears to be on the surface. He discovers innocent lives around the globe are marked with a deadly price tag.
Robbed of his memory, beaten to an inch of his life, yet unwavering in his quest to cease an act of terror, Michael races against time to pursue an enemy bound by an unspeakable cause.
GREED MANIFESTO spins a tale so wickedly conceived, you won't believe what you've read. Until you do.
GREED MANIFESTO can be read as a stand-alone novel, or as part of the Greed Series (#4).
A veteran of the corporate wars, former journalist, and true studier of human and social behavior, John W. Mefford has been writing his debut novel since he first entered the work force twenty-five years ago, although he never put words on paper until late 2009.
John writes novels full of intrigue, suspense, and thrills, but they also evoke an emotional connection to the characters.
When he's not writing, he chases three kids around, slaves away in the yard, reads, takes in as many sports as time allows, watches all sorts of movies, and continues to make mental notes of people and societies across the land.
John lives in Frisco, Texas with his beautiful wife, three curious kids, and a feisty fat cat.

Favorite Quote:
I punched in a text to the same number: Me: R u there? About thirty seconds passed. The person on the other end: Who is this? Me: I know this is crazy, but I don't really know. The person on the other end: Omfg Me: What? The person on the other end: Can u not Me: Not what? The person on the other end: Just no Me: No what? I held a breath, my eyes glued to the tiny screen waiting to see three dots light up— which meant the other person was typing something, anything. I needed a response. Two minutes passed. Three. Then five. My only connection to the world around me was ignoring me. It felt unworldly, like I'd been transported to another place, another time...hell, even another planet, where steep hills covered the landscape and I never existed. I couldn't let go. Who this person was, specifically, I couldn't recall. I struggled to see images, remember a voice or a scent. Nothing. My heart pounded harder, like it was drilling for oil. I scanned my surroundings again, more hills, a few tall buildings, distant lights, a strange metal trench splitting the street. The cold wind smacked my focus back to the three-by-five-inch screen. The phone was silent—like my memory. Ten minutes. Fuck! Where was she? Didn't she understand I needed her? My emotions were about to explode, my pulse now racing out of control. I braced myself against the building and struggled to get to my feet. My knees buckled for just a moment, and most of my weight fell against the stone edifice. The phone slipped out of my hand; I grabbed for it and missed. Kicking up my left knee, the phone bounced off my thigh, giving me an easier target, and I snatched it out of the air. I was lucky. My lifeline to the rest of the world was still intact, but in just a few seconds, I'd gone from feeling cold down to my bones to breaking out in a fierce sweat.
This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
Just like the other two books I have read this one was a great story to read. As all the other stories in this series it can stand alone.
In this book the story starts with Michael and no memory. It goes back and forth between a month ago and the present. It took some time for the story to get you caught up to the present. For those of you how love romance there is some in this book. Nothing heavy but just enough to give that extra oh yeah!!! I love the relationship between Andi and Michael, these characters work well together. In this book expect the unexpected. It is really an excellent book!!!!
