Más información sobre el libro

In a near-future thriller, the American Southwest grapples with severe drought, leading to conflicts over the dwindling Colorado River. Nevada and Arizona clash while California contemplates seizing the entire river. Amid this turmoil, Angel Velasquez, a water knife for the Southern Nevada Water Authority, operates under the directive of Catherine Case, ensuring her opulent arcology projects thrive in the desert and eliminating any opposition. When whispers of a revolutionary water source in Phoenix emerge, Angel is dispatched to investigate. Armed with multiple identities and a high-tech Tesla, he heads south, seeking elusive answers in an increasingly hostile environment. There, he meets Lucy Monroe, a seasoned journalist with hidden knowledge about Phoenix's water issues, and Maria Villarosa, a young migrant yearning for a better life. As violence escalates and bodies accumulate, the trio becomes entangled in a vast, corrupt scheme. With Phoenix on the brink of disaster and their survival hanging by a thread, they must rely on each other. In a world where water is more precious than gold, shifting alliances and harsh truths reveal that sacrifice is inevitable for survival.
