From the cover: Microbiologist Michael Cochrane has been murdered. His brother, Paul, wants to find out who did it ... and why.

Accompanied by a beautiful industrial spy, Elena Sandoval, Paul follows the trail from California to Cambridge, Massachusetts. Along the way, a lot of people seem to be itnerested in getting in their way or discovering what they know. It's clear that Michael was working with cyanobacteria, the bacteria that crack water molecules and release free oxygen. It's less clear why this would get anybody killed. Or why oil billionaire Lionel Gould wants to pay Paul and Elena big money for the details of Michael's work.

Then the truth emerges: Michael had found a way to derive free fuel from water. No wonder everyone, from Middle Eastern heavies to hired domestic muscle, suddenly seems to be trying to get in Paul and Elena's way. As the world's secrets - and their own - teeter in the balance, Paul and Elena must decide what to do before it's too late.
