THE WATER KNIFE - PAOLO BACIGALUPI KARTONIERT (TB)

WATER IS POWER In the near future  the Colorado River has dwindled to a trickle. Detective 
assassin  and spy  Angel Velasquez cuts water for the Southern Nevada Water Authority  ensuring
that its lush arcology developments can bloom in Las Vegas. When rumors of a game-changing
water source surface in Phoenix  Angel is sent south  hunting for answers that seem to
evaporate as the heat index soars and the landscape becomes more and more oppressive. There  he
encounters Lucy Monroe  a hardened journalist with her own agenda  and Maria Villarosa  a young
Texas migrant  who dreams of escaping north. As bodies begin to pile up  the three find
themselves pawns in a game far bigger and more corrupt than they could have imagined  and 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.
