Fast-paced and inescapably compelling, Neil Hamilton’s novel, Watershed, is a skillful interweaving of a near-fantastic international conspiracy, and a realistic depiction of the frightening implications growing out of the growing desperation over water resources, right here in North America. Neil raises disturbing questions about what could happen in the near future. Buckle up for a wild ride! The looming water shortage in the American Southwest is the backdrop for Watershed. The story is international in scope, framed against events foreshadowing a potentially vast drought catastrophe. Watershed makes it clear how easily such a calamity could happen, drawing the reader into a furious, shadowy duel between a dedicated group of private citizens and a cunning, vengeful international mogul. A hydrology engineer is killed in an airplane crash. Officially an accident—unofficially, murder. Matt MacLeod, a close friend of the victim, is summoned to assist in a secret investigation of his murder. He uncovers a sinister scheme set in motion by a ruthless international industrialist to hold the continent’s water resources to ransom to trigger a perilous clash between the USA and Canada.
