Heat från 1995 med Robert De Niro, Al Pacino och Val Kilmer i huvudrollerna har äntligen fått en uppföljare i bokform!
Dagen efter uppgörelsen i filmen Heat, gömmer sig Chris (Val Kilmer) i Koreatown. Skadad och desperat försöker han komma ut från Los Angeles medan han är jagad av LAPD-polisen Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino).
Några timmar tidigare dödade Vincent Chris vapenbroder Neil (Robert De Niro) under en skottlossning på LAX:s startbanor. Nu är Vincent beslutsam att döda Chris, den sista överlevande i Neils gäng.
1988, sju år tidigare, styr Chris och Neil droghandeln från västkusten ner till mexikanska gränsen och sedan in i Chicago. Våghalsade och drivna drar de in tonvis med pengar och lever livets glada dagar.
Kokainstinna Chicagomordutredaren Vincent - en man med sitt eget mörka förflutna - bestämmer sig för att ensam jaga dessa män när deras våldsvåg har gått för långt.
"En välskriven och spännande bok, med ett myller av karaktärer, platser och tidsplan, samt en fängslande intrig." Nils Ahnland, BTJ-häftet

A pulse-pounding, race-against-time thriller featuring forensic psychiatrist Jo Beckett.Forensic psychiatrist Jo Beckett's speciality is the psychological autopsy – an investigation into a person's life to determine whether a death was natural, accidental, suicide, or homicide. When Jo is asked to do a psychological autopsy on a living person – one with a suspect memory who can't be trusted to participate in his own medical care – she knows all her skills will be put to the test. Jo is called to the scene of an aircraft inbound from London to help deal with a passenger who is behaving erratically. She figures out that Ian Kanan has got anterograde amnesia, and can't form new memories. Jo finds herself racing to save a patient who can walk and talk and yet can't help Jo figure out just what happened to him. Suddenly a string of clues arises, something to do with a super deadly biological agent code-named "Slick", a kidnapping, and a secret partnership gone horribly wrong. Jo realises Kanan's addled mind may hold the key to preventing something terrible from happening in her beloved San Francisco. With time running out, she will have to get deeper into the life of a patient than she ever has before, hoping the truth emerges from the fog of his mind in time to save her city – and herself.

Evan Delaney, novelist and legal go-fer, is dressed as Diana Ross in order to crash a fancy-dress party and serve a summons, when she hears that Franklin Brand is back in town. Brand is the hit-and-run driver who sentenced Evan's lover Jesse to life in a wheelchair, and killed his best friend. Since the accident, Brand has been avoiding justice overseas; but if he's back, Evan and Jesse are determined to get him, helped by the dead boy's brother Adam. Brand had been a high-flier in Mako Technologies, a cyber-security firm, and this is where Evan starts looking. She quickly uncovers evidence that Brand was embezzling funds, and that Adam's brother knew all about it. So maybe that hit-and-run wasn't an accident at all?Then the policeman investigating is killed, and Adam and Jesse both come under suspicion. The plot has more twists, thrills and spills than a white-knuckle ride, and is complicated by the confused emotions of the main parties involved: Jesse feels a survivor's guilt; Adam resents the fact that Jesse is alive while his brother died. But there are more corpses - including a near miss for Evan herself - to come before the bad guys are finally brought to book.

A riveting psychological thriller inspired by the never-caught Zodiac Killer, about a young detective determined to apprehend the serial murderer who destroyed her family and terrorized a city twenty years earlier. Caitlin Hendrix has been a Narcotics detective for six months when the killer at the heart of all her childhood nightmares reemerges: the Prophet. An UNSUB—what the FBI calls an unknown subject—the Prophet terrorized the Bay Area in the 1990s and nearly destroyed her father, the lead investigator on the case. The Prophet’s cryptic messages and mind games drove Detective Mack Hendrix to the brink of madness, and Mack’s failure to solve the series of ritualized murders—eleven seemingly unconnected victims left with the ancient sign for Mercury etched into their flesh—was the final nail in the coffin for a once promising career. Twenty years later, two bodies are found bearing the haunting signature of the Prophet. Caitlin Hendrix has never escaped the shadow of her father’s failure to protect their city. But now the ruthless madman is killing again and has set his sights on her, threatening to undermine the fragile barrier she rigidly maintains for her own protection, between relentless pursuit and dangerous obsession. Determined to decipher his twisted messages and stop the carnage, Caitlin ignores her father’s warnings as she draws closer to the killer with each new gruesome murder. Is it a copycat, or can this really be the same Prophet who haunted her childhood? Will Caitlin avoid repeating her father’s mistakes and redeem her family name, or will chasing the Prophet drag her and everyone she loves into the depths of the abyss?

Un día después del final de Heat, Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer) se encuentra escondido en Koreatown; está herido, medio inconsciente y tratando desesperadamente de escapar de Los Ángeles. Lo persigue el detective del Departamento de Policía de Los Ángeles Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino). Horas antes, Hanna había matado al compañero de Shiherlis, Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro), en un tiroteo bajo las luces estroboscópicas al pie de una pista del aeropuerto de Los Ángeles. Ahora Hanna está decidido a capturar o matar a Shiherlis, último superviviente de los hombres de McCauley, antes de que desaparezca de la ciudad.En 1988, siete años antes, McCauley, Shiherlis y el resto de la banda recorren dando golpes la Costa Oeste, la frontera con México y, por último, Chicago; ganan dinero salvajemente y viven al límite. El detective de homicidios de Chicago Vincent Hanna, un hombre que no se ha reconciliado con su pasado, cumple con su vocación: la persecución de una banda ultraviolenta de asaltantes de viviendas.Mientras tanto, las consecuencias de los golpes de McCauley y de la persecución de Hanna provocarán repercusiones inesperadas en una trama paralela a lo largo de los años posteriores a Heat.Heat 2 sitúa a sus personajes, hombres y mujeres reales, vívidamente descritos, en mundos por completo nuevos: desde las entrañas de organizaciones criminales rivales en Sudamérica hasta los cárteles transnacionales en el sudeste asiático. La novela nos muestra las vidas de todos ellos, que en el universo de Heat se enfrentarán a nuevos adversarios en circunstancias letales más allá de todos los límites.Heat 2 es fascinante, conmovedora y trágica, una obra maestra de ficción criminal con las mismas ambiciones extraordinarias, alcance y riqueza de personajes del mítico film.Michael Mann, guionista y director cuatro veces nominado al Óscar por El último mohicano, The Insider, Ali, Miami Vice, Collateral y Heat, colabora en su primera novela con la escritora ganadora del Edgar Award Meg Gardiner; un explosivo regreso al universo y los personajes de su famosa película policiaca, con una historia completamente nueva que transcurre en los años anteriores y posteriores del icónico film.«Heat 2 es una novela brillante y cautivadora, con personajes redondos y una poderosa narración que es una de las evocaciones más auténticas que he leído de los criminales y los policías que los cazan. La primera novela de Michael Mann (y Meg Gardiner) es un tour de force que funciona de manera independiente, pero también homenajea a la icónica película de Mann y profundiza en ella, colocando a todos sus personajes clave en una nueva historia que tiene lugar antes y después de Heat llena de sorprendentes detalles y con un gran voltaje emocional».Don Winslow«Siempre tuve la intención de ampliar las historias que aparecían en Heat. Los personajes ya tenían vidas ricas y complejas antes de 1995, el año en que transcurría mi película. Heat 2 es una nueva historia que abarca los primeros años de vida de los personajes de Heat y es también una secuela que nos presenta su futuro.Es el antes y el después de la película, comenzando un día después del final de Heat con un Chris Shiherlis desesperado tratando de escapar de Los Ángeles.Cuando escribí y dirigí Heat, era mi práctica habitual crear completas biografías de todos los personajes para saber de dónde vienen, cómo llegaron a ser quienes son y qué querían para su futuro. Este trasfondo profundo no solo fue creado para la película, sino que fue la base para los actores que interpretasen sus papeles.
