Storyline

By pure chance, Danny Wilde and his friend Lord Brett Sinclair stumble upon the wreckage of an aircraft and a dead located therein. As part of their investigation, the two find out that the dead man is the inventor Brian Wilks, who had disappeared twelve years ago.

Further investigations reveal that the plane did not crash randomly, but that it was an assassination attempt on the inventor because of his latest product. The two are suddenly in possession of this invention, wherein the compound is a formula for a new type of fuel, which can be used more efficiently than the known, and is also cheaper to manufacture.

Unfortunately, Lord Sinclair and Danny Wilde have moved with their find to the attention of major oil companies and countries that are now fighting hard to get hold of this formula.

The fact that both intelligence agencies and oil companies do not refuse committing murders for billions in profit is something that the two learn for themselves when attempting to escape this story alive.
