Megatrends: Ten New Directions Transfor by John Naisbit

San Francisco, 1981.
Danger is in the air and nothing is as it appears.
But then, neither is Riley.

The body of a gay cop who committed suicide, a radical commune in the hills above Berkeley, and a pest outbreak that will cost California $10 billion if not controlled would be sufficient problems by themselves. But the maggots don't match the policeman's time of death, the hippies aren't as peaceful as they claim, and the Medfly is spreading faster than it can move on its own.
Knowing that police detective-turned-exterminator Riley has what is needed--knowledge of both two- and six-legged vermin--an old flame draws him into a perilous search for the mastermind behind the most devastating insect outbreak in the nation's history. Riley must determine whether the Medfly infestation is the work of a government insider or a radical environmentalist.
As crops are reduced to worm-infested mush, Riley and his loyal crew at Goat Hill Extermination zero in on the perpetrators of gruesome murder, brutal kidnapping, and economic devastation.
But it's revenge, not money, that has bullets drawing blood and wasps delivering venom in a battle to determine who lives and who dies. Between romance reigniting and terrorism smoldering, Riley knows he's likely to get burned.
