2060. Rivers are dry. Thirst is permanent.
In a world where billionaires own the world's water, Rani has a system: work, steal, drop water off at her estranged family's house, and survive. When she's almost arrested, she's saved by the very woman who destroyed her life seven years ago, and she's offered a choice: continue her monotonous life alone, or join the woman's crew-and maybe make a difference.
Sachin, a journalist with a grudge, has a story to chase-a story that could save the hundreds who rely on the corporation's water to sustain them. But when his investigation gets tangled up in Rani's heists, it threatens to devastate the lives of everyone they care about-and the entire city.
What happens when the most basic element of life is entirely commoditized? When it's bought by those who care more for greed than lives?
How do you steal it back?
Fast-paced and urgently relevant, Bottled Larceny is for those who don't seek to shy away from the realities of our warming world; a novel that serves as a warning of what could happen as a means to ensure it doesn't.
