Meer over het boek

Michael Mann, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind Heat and Miami Vice, collaborates with Meg Gardiner to present his first crime novel, an explosive return to the world of Heat. This narrative serves as both a prequel and sequel to the acclaimed film, exploring the formative years of homicide detective Vincent Hanna and elite criminals Neil McCauley, Chris Shiherlis, and Nate. It captures the same ambition, scope, and rich characterizations as the original film. The story leads up to the film's events and extends beyond, introducing new characters on both sides of the law, high-stakes heists, and breathtaking action sequences. Spanning locations from Los Angeles to Paraguay's Taiwanese crime syndicates and a massive drug cartel operation in Mexico, it reveals the inner workings of international crime organizations and the agents pursuing them. With its operatic scope, the narrative is engrossing, moving, and tragic—offering a full-blooded portrait of the men and women navigating these dangerous worlds. This novel stands as a masterful addition to crime fiction from one of American cinema's most innovative filmmakers.
