Charley can fix anything on cars, but his specialty is carburetors. While he raises a family, his fascination with the potential of the internal combustion engine is pushed aside. But now that Charley's wife has passed on and his children are grown, he is free to create a better carburetor than Detroit has ever offered. Charley is a natural pessimist. When he uses his 1986 Cadillac to test his rebuilt carburetor he hopes will improve fuel efficiency, he can hardly believe his luck when the super carburetor performs beyond his expectations and gets more than a hundred miles to the gallon. With a potential gold mine now sitting in his garage, Charley soon discovers the price of success as he is harassed by major oil companies, big players in the American auto industry, and the United States government. But when his attorney is murdered, Charley is left with no other choice but to flee to Mexico to hopefully save his life--and his dream. In this fast-paced thriller, a super carburetor inventor becomes embroiled in a dangerous struggle with ruthless oil company executives as he attempts to transform his design into millions of dollars.
