Book excerpt: "Heat 2" by Michael Mann and Meg Gardiner

One of the most acclaimed films by Oscar-nominated writer-director Michael Mann is his 1995 crime thriller "Heat," in which a police detective and a thief play cat-and-mouse on the blood-spattered streets of Los Angeles. Now, Mann has teamed up with Edgar Award-winning suspense novelist Meg Gardiner for "Heat 2" (William Morrow, to be published August 9), a prequel and sequel to the events of "Heat." It expands the backstory of characters (played in the film by Al Pacino, Val Kilmer and Robert De Niro) and the repercussions of their dangerous dance with death.
