A novel about a group triggering earthquakes as a form of terrorism/extortion

from the back:
"The one thing Californians fear most is a full-scale earthquake.

The thing Priest fears most is the destruction of the commune he founded 30 years ago in the Sierra Nevada foothills - the one place he can hide from his mobster past.

He has to make the governor of California listen to him. And now he knows a way. He knows how to create an earthquake. And if his demans aren't met, the next quake is just 48 hours away."
