Nevada and Arizona skirmish over dwindling shares of the Colorado River, while California watches, deciding if it should just take the whole river all for itself. Into the fray steps Las Vegas water knife Angel Velasquez. Detective, assassin, and spy, Angel "cuts" water for the Southern Nevada Water Authority, ensuring that lush, luxurious arcology developments can bloom in the desert and that anyone who challenges her is left in the gutted- suburban dust. 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. 520 Working as an enforcer for a corrupt developer, Angel Velasquez teams up with a hardened journalist and a street -smart Texan to investigate rumors of California's imminent monopoly on limited water supplies. 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record. 650 0 Droughts|vFiction. 650 0 Water rights|vFiction. 650 7 Droughts.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00898449 650 7 Water rights.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01172066 655 0 Dystopias. 655 0 Downloadable e-Books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Dystopias.|2gsafd 655 7 Dystopias.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726591 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 Electronic books.|2lcgft 776 08 |iElectronic reproduction of (manifestation):|aBacigalupi, Paolo.|tWater knife|dNew York : Alfred A.
