Con-Fusion Mike Scantlebury

Many people are worried that the world is facing an energy crisis, when the oil runs out and the current generation of nuclear fission reactors reach the end of their useful lives and are retired. What can replace them? What can generate the electricity we so deserately need?Some people think the answer is nuclear fusion. It has no residue, and is clean and infinitely replaceable. It is the process that powers the sun. Wouldn't it be wonderful if someone invented a process that worked?Melia thinks she has met such a man. But wait a moment, isn't he a well-known and experienced conman? How does she know she can trust him? How does she know this isn't simply his latest scam? After all, the briefcase he is carrying seems so bland and unimportant. Could it really be holding the key to the future of energy in Britain? That thing?Then people get murdered, and the situation really starts to get serious. Melia is sucked in, fighting not only for the world but also for her family, and a childhood friend, and her memory. If only her boss, the awful Caulfield, wasn't involved too, things would be easier. Who knew the man who she'd always thought of as the spawn of the Devil, had brothers?
