Probably not exactly what you had in mind, but this book is very well written and tells the story of a gang of environmentalists that go on a sabotage spree across the southwest blowing up bridges and dams and destroying heavy machinery. It features accurate recipes and descriptions on making termite and explosives and such.

What would you recommend if I asked for older novels about organized crime? Reading cave paintings?
