The Formula
A
formula for synthetic fuel had been developed by the Nazis during
WW II. In the intervening 35 years since the war's end, the formula
has disappeared and several people connected with it have died under
mysterious circumstances. Also during this period, oil magnate Adam
Steiffel, had commiserated with one of the decedents. Police officer
Barney Caine, a friend of the dead man, hopes to solve the mystery,
and in so doing gets mixed up in a wide-ranging conspiracy to manipulate
worldwide fuel prices.
