The Formula — Steve Shagan

THE FORMULA. A blockbuster novel founded in fact, it tells the chilling tale of Germany's most explosive wartime secret--synthetic fuel--that triggers a brutal murder and shock waves in the deadly world of OPEC and multinational cartels. And plunges its hero, an ex-CIA agent, now an L.A.cop, together with a beautiful woman into a quest whose stunning climax is a face-to-face confrontation with the Godfather of the Overworld.
