Abstract
Seismologist Charlie Richter, grandson of the inventor of the Richter scale, knows
earthquakes, and has a method for predicting them. Arriving in Los Angeles to begin
work at the Center for Earthquake Studies, a mysterious agency that seems more Hollywood
than science, Charlie settles into his new life. His only distraction from work is
Grace, an assistant to a powerful producer, and her deadbeat scriptwriter boyfriend
Ian.
