FORCES WITH TWO AMAZING AND AWARD-WINNING AUTHORS TANANARIVE
DUE AND STEVEN BARNES TO DELIVER THE SECOND INSTALLATION IN
THE STUNNING AND PROVOCATIVE TENNYSON HARDWICK NOVEL IN
THE NIGHT OF THE HEAT.
Threatened with death
after acquittal for murder, football superstar T. D. Jackson
asks struggling actor and former gigolo Tennyson Hardwick
for protection. Tennyson has a reputation in Hollywood after
solving the murder of rapper Afrodite, but politely turns
Jackson down: His acting career is taking off with a new
series, and he's trying to work out his personal life after
a series of wrong turns.
But Tennyson's life is upturned
when his seedy past catches up to him on the set of his TV
series. Then T. D. Jackson is found dead in his home, the
victim of an apparent suicide.
T.D.'s gorgeous cousin,
Melanie, is sure the superstar was murdered, and Jackson's
family offers Tennyson an irresistible fee to discover the
truth. But prying into T. D. Jackson's death means answering
the question that divided a nation and destroyed a film star
and a football icon's life and career: Did T. D. Jackson
kill his wife?
When the investigation takes an unexpected
turn toward the governor's mansion and a long-forgotten
football game in the segregated South of the 1960s, Tennyson
uncovers secrets tearing at the heart of two dynasties and
must rely on all of his assets -- his actor's heart, deadly
hands, profiler's mind, and every other part of his body --
to keep from dying next.
