Book Description
Award-winning actor and author Blair Underwood rejoins forces with two popular writers to deliver the second installment—now in paperback—in their stunning and provocative Tennyson Hardwick chronicles.
For the first time since their breakout debut, Casanegra, the powerful trio of Blair Underwood, Tananarive Due, and Steven Barnes teams up to bring readers back into the sexy and entertaining world of struggling actor and gigolo-turned-sleuth Tennyson Hardwick. In the Night of the Heat picks up where Casanegra left off, after Tennyson has solved the murder of rapper Afrodite. His reputation brings football superstar T. D. Jackson to his door, asking for protection when he is threatened with death after acquittal for murder. Tennyson politely turns Jackson down to pursue his acting career and personal life. But when Jackson is found dead in his home, the victim of an apparent suicide, Tennyson can’t resist prying into the football star’s death— especially if it means answering the question that divided a nation: Did T. D. Jackson really kill his wife?

Tennyson Hardwick Gets Better and Better!, Sep 18 2008
By musicalsoul "Marielle" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In the Night of the Heat: A Tennyson Hardwick Novel (Hardcover)
Blair Underwood, Steven Barnes and Tananarive Due are back with their exciting second installment of the Tennyson Hardwick series. If you thought the first book, CASENGRA, was hot with many twist and turns, then put your seat belts on for IN THE NIGHT OF THE HEAT. This one is filled with steamy action and so many twist and turns that you won't even know what hit you. Tennyson Hardwick sets out to find the killer of famous athlete, T.D. Jackson, and during his investigation he comes in the face of danger himself. Will he dig things back up that should remain buried in the past? Will his quest to find the truth cause him to lose his own life and endanger his family's life as well? I guarantee you that you will not be able to put this book down.These three, Due, Underwood and Barnes are the best murder mystery writing team of our time. I have a feeling they are just getting started. Once again, buckle up for the adventurous ride!

Excitement & Suspense Rule, Oct 27 2008
By Shelia D. Harvey "Shelia Dansby Harvey" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In the Night of the Heat: A Tennyson Hardwick Novel (Hardcover)
Ten is back, and his return is even better than his very good debut in Casanegra. This time around Ten is investigating the death of an O.J. Simpson type, who before his untimely demise, may have offed his ex and her fiancee. Juicy. Juicy. Anyway, Ten's dad, a wheel-chair bound, stroke-impaired ex-cop, rolls in to help his son. This story line is perfect, far superior to the pages of exhausting, unfulfilling sex that held Casanegra back. The characters are fully drawn and intriguing. The story is tight and sooo satisfying. A must read. Aww Sookie Sookie: Omar's Revenge

Pretty Good. Some Parts Unbelievable, July 15 2009
By Vicky Vale - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In the Night of the Heat: A Tennyson Hardwick Novel (Paperback)
The character in this book, Tennyson, is half believable and somewhat far-fetched. His ability as a detective is interesting fodder. The story line in this book is also good, although reminiscent of O.J. Simpson. His past life and his live-in ward -- I don't like those two parts of the character. I think he should def get rid of the ward for the next story. It's just not right and if it continues, it's uncomfortable. Overall, the book is a solid read. The ending is a little weird and unexpected, but still good.
