The Omega Crystal — Tony Seton

What if a huge American oil cartel was sitting on key discoveries in the development of solar power? That's what anchorman Geoff Lance learns from an acclaimed physicist, only days before the scientist's death. Geoff looks into the man's credentials and explores the truth behind his charges. He gets help from the scientist's beautiful daughter, Ariane. Then a news camera malfunctions, and the story explodes into the public eye. And that's just the first part of the book! In Part II, Ariane and Geoff build a home together in a new city, where she inadvertently gets mixed up with nefarious activity by a Mexican drug cartel, and he uses his journalistic skills to ply a vital new path.
