Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller!

Michael Mann, four-time-Oscar-nominated writer-director of The Last of the Mohicans, The Insider, Ali, Miami Vice, Collateral, and Heat teams up with Edgar Award??winning author Meg Gardiner to deliver Mann's first novel, an explosive return to the universe and characters of his classic crime film??with an all-new story unfolding in the years before and after the iconic movie

One day after the end of Heat, Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer) is holed up in Koreatown, wounded, half delirious, and desperately trying to escape LA. Hunting him is LAPD detective Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino). Hours earlier, Hanna killed Shiherlis's brother in arms Neil McCauley (De Niro) in a gunfight under the strobe lights at the foot of an LAX runway. Now Hanna's determined to capture or kill Shiherlis, the last survivor of McCauley's crew, before he ghosts out of the city.

In 1988, seven years earlier, McCauley, Shiherlis, and their highline crew are taking scores on the West Coast, the US-Mexican border, and now in Chicago. Driven, daring, they're pulling in money and living vivid lives. And Chicago homicide detective Vincent Hanna??a man unreconciled with his history??is following his calling, the pursuit of armed and dangerous men into the dark and wild places, hunting an ultraviolent gang of home invaders.

Meanwhile, the fallout from McCauley's scores and Hanna's pursuit cause unexpected repercussions in a parallel narrative, driving through the years following Heat.

Heat 2 projects its dimensional and richly drawn men and women into whole new worlds??from the inner sanctums of rival crime syndicates in a South American free-trade zone to transnational criminal enterprises in Southeast Asia. The novel brings you intimately into these lives. In Michael Mann's Heat universe, they will confront new adversaries in lethal circumstances beyond all boundaries.

Heat 2 is engrossing, moving, and tragic??a masterpiece of crime fiction with the same extraordinary ambitions, scope, and rich characterizations as t… (meer)

Kul! Känns som man är mitt inne i filmen igen. Karaktärerna har ansikten och miljöerna sitter direkt. Bra bok dessutom! ( )

I can't tell you how the book is, but that prologue was awful.

5/5 what can I say about this. The movie that this is a a prequel/sequel to is one of the all time greats. This book is just as good. Maybe probably my book of the year! ( )

If you enjoyed Heat, you will like this book. I loved Heat and I enjoyed this novel as a fun, summer read. It seems written to be a movie and extend the franchise even further. The writing is almost completely plot driven with very little description or depth. I'm sure the movie will be amazing and I will be there to watch, however my guess is this is one of the rare instances where the movie will be better than the book. ( )

“… split in thirty seconds flat if you spot the heat around the corner.”

The first 6 pages of this book are a recap of the movie that came before it. This story begins the next day. And Hanna has a major hard-on to catch Chris, the man who killed his partner during the bank heist. I found that story to be fairly boring. But the 'flashback' stories are pretty good, in a Richard Stark's Parker novel kind of way. Neil's plotting, planning, and executing of scores is pretty good reading, and if more back stories about him and his crew were to be published, I'd totally be on board!
But if more Chris stories were to come down the pike, I'd pass. ( )
