A skyscraper primed to ignite. A killer with a code name. A race to stop a disaster that could rewrite the balance of world power. When Interpol investigator Colton Gray begins tracking a string of bizarre murders across Europe, the trail leads to something far more explosive-a new United Nations headquarters with a deadly secret built into its foundation. Hidden within its walls is a catastrophic weapon, timed to detonate on opening day and wipe out the leaders of the world's largest economies. Behind the plot is a phantom operative known only as Pakistan -a man driven by revenge, armed with genius-level engineering skills, and backed by a shadow network willing to do anything to see the plan succeed. But as the countdown ticks away, shifting loyalties, cryptic warnings, and a chance at redemption threaten to unravel everything. From the alleys of Europe to the heart of New York City, Heat of Hydration hurtles forward with relentless pace. Every chapter ratchets up the tension. Every page brings the world closer to catastrophe. When the clock runs out, nations will fall-unless one man can stop it.
