Pyramid: A Novel of 1988 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781546516309)

When Virginia Wheeler's early-morning run through the Stanford Hills is interrupted by the discovery of the body of a young Chinese woman, her modern high-tech world is shattered by the emergence of a ghost from the past-the often-inept terrorist Yerky, who was responsible for the death of her brother during the 1960s, is back in her life, whether he knows it or not. Little by little, and then faster and faster, Virginia is sucked into a rapidly evolving plot by Yerky to re-establish his shaky reputation within the world-wide terrorist network. All clues to Yerky's next terror target lead to San Francisco's Chinatown, where Virginia encounters Ah Fook, master of a shadow society within the heart of the city, and where Yerky's trail leads to a standoff inside the peak of the famed Transamerica Pyramid. Always a step ahead of justice, Yerky attempts to fulfill his terrorist plot by bringing it home to Virginia's quiet neighborhood in Palo Alto.
