Book Log 2006 #47: Dallas Down by Richard Moran
An epic drought leads to the severe depletion of aquifers, with the result that Dallas in in danger of collapsing into a giant sinkhole. A Texas billionaire has a devious plan to prevent this (don't click the link if you don't want to know what it is), but a world-famous spelunker (on a mission to find a boy lost in underground caverns) may thwart his plans.
The plot is equal parts audacious and ludicrous, and in both plot and writing it seems to be trying for Clive Cussler, and falling short. Probably only worthwhile if you find the concept too interesting to pass up.
