The Thirst: A Louise Destrey Thriller

By André John Haddad

From the author of the heart-stopping trilogy, The Jerusalem Cycle, comes the much-anticipated follow-up, The Thirst.

A megacity. Twenty million people. No water.

In 2014, S o Paolo suffered a drought that drained the Cantareira reservoir to near-depletion and sent the city into chaos. The subsequent earthquakes have reminded S o Paolo that it hasn't recovered from the drought--and maybe never will.

Louise Destrey, of Massachusetts consulting firm Triage Group, has her eye on S o Paulo. She predicts that it's just a matter of time before the city is hit with the ultimate disaster: a massive earthquake that could mean the end of the South American metropolis. But not everyone is convinced. S o Paulo's business community, fueled by cheap labour and greed, wants nothing more than for Louise to disappear, and a contract's been put out on her head.

While two former MI6 agents try to stop the assassination, Louise recruits the best people, including some unexpected allies, to help her evacuate twenty million people. The only question is, will Paulistanos listen?

If you like reading Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum, you won't be able to put down this thriller until the very last page.
