The human body consists of two-thirds water. As concertgoers on a steamy day in Boston find out, water can kill as much as it gives life. A terrorist attack at City Hall Plaza has the authorities perplexed. The government, in response, sends in a capable but young agent - an agent born from the ashes of terrorism itself - to handle it. But as her partner dies and the terrorist strikes again, Jaclyn Johnson - code named Snapshot - finds herself in a situation she has trained a decade to face: She's up against a man with enough money to finance a war against his competition. With a deadline in place to stop him - and with a car holding enough hidden tricks to evade capture - Snapshot infiltrates his hidden installation and finds out her target's true end game, a secret that could have the world fighting over water.
