In the near-future American Southwest, water is more precious than gold.
Angel Velasquez is a “water knife”—an enforcer who cuts off water supplies to competing cities to ensure the survival of Las Vegas. When rumors of a legendary "water right" surface in Phoenix, Angel is sent to investigate, finding himself in a landscape of corrupt developers, desperate migrants, and hardened journalists.
From the National Book Award-finalist author of The Windup Girl, this is a gritty, high-stakes thriller about a world where the drought never ends and everyone is thirsty for power.
