George D. Thornton used to be the 'Big Cheese' of the world's second largest sportswear company - until he messed it up... big time! Now back in the UK, and using his dead brother-in-law's identity for cover, George takes a job stacking shelves at his local supermarket where, rather than keeping a low profile, he is once more propelled into the limelight. This time as the innovator of a new concept in food retailing that could change, well... everything! 'Keppleton Rise' is a lively, pin-sharp satirical tale about one man's search for redemption; set against a backdrop of greed, ambition, and the powerful potency of twenty-first century politics. Yes, George D. Thornton is once again 'on the rise'. Though sometimes the past has a nasty habit of throwing up a few surprises of its own!
