From the international bestselling author of the Hugo and Nebula
award-winning The Windup Girl, comes an electrifying thriller set
in a world on the edge of collapse. WATER IS POWER The American
Southwest has been decimated by drought, Nevada and Arizona
skirmish over dwindling shares of the Colorado River, while
California watches. When rumors of a game-changing water source
surface in Phoenix, Las Vegas water knife Angel Velasquez is sent
to investigate. With a wallet full of identities and a tricked-out
Tesla, Angel arrows south, hunting for answers that seem to
evaporate as the heat index soars and the landscape becomes more
and more oppressive. There, Angel encounters Lucy Monroe, a
hardened journalist who knows far more about Phoenix's water
secrets than she admits, and Maria Villarosa, a young Texas migrant
who dreams of escaping north to those places where water still
falls from the sky. As bodies begin to pile up and bullets start
flying, the three find themselves pawns in a game far bigger, more
corrupt, and dirtier than any of them could have imagined. With
Phoenix teetering on the verge of collapse and time running out,
their only hope for survival rests in one another's hands. But when
water is more valuable than gold, alliances shift like sand, and
the only truth in the desert is that someone will have to bleed if
anyone hopes to drink.
