From Publishers Weekly

Fans of Norman Kelley's The Big Mango (starred review, Forecasts, Sept. 25, 2000) will welcome this reprint of Black Heat: A Nina Halligan Mystery (1997) about the search for the missing daughter of a slain Civil Rights leader. Through the voice of his "bad girl" PI heroine, Kelley delivers scathing if dead-on commentary on matters of race in modern America that will both anger and amuse. This is serious social criticism disguised as sensational crime fiction.

From Library Journal

Former black prosecutor Nina Halligan swore vengeance on the man responsible for the slaughter of her family. Now a PI but still carrying a chip on her shoulder, she looks for a connection between the widow of a moderate Civil Rights leader and several acts of murder and assault directed at the slain leader's former associates. This well-crafted and riveting first novel by the author of The Big Mango features hidden agendas, violent ambitions, and political manipulations. For African American mystery collections. [The book was first published in 1997, as a paperback and with limited distribution, by Cool Grove Pr.DEd.].

5.0étoiles sur 5 GREAT SURPRISE!!, Janv. 9 2004
Par Stephanie D. Jones (Montclair, NJ USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This was the first book I read by Norman Kelley - I thought it started off a bit slow for me, but then BAAAAAAANG!! It took off and began to run!! I couldn't put the book down. I couldn't wait to see what would be uncovered next. Nina Halligan is a sho' nuff, kick-ya-butt, intellectual-educated sista that won't punk out under any circumstances. She's "street smart" and formally educated - she's a true double threat. I would like to see Nina and Zee hook up again - I think they would make a damn good team. Zee provided balance to Nina's infrequently episodes of instability...Anna was funny too!! The manner in which Nina unearthed the truth behind the entire New Nation and De Lawd, and her "resources" kept my interest. I'd like to see Nina and Zee take on Nate Ford - Nina's demon from her past. I thought the book was GREAT!!!

I enjoyed every page of this book. The story was great and the characters were nothing short of great. It really makes you think and that was the great thing about the book. I found it really interesting that while Nina was helping other people overcome their demons, she had to come to grips with her own. I look forward to reading more Nina Halligan mysteries.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Bad Mama Jama, Mars 25 2002
Nina takes no prisoners. Kelley does a good job of creating a reasonably believable story line. His sleuth, Nina is feisty,funky and fun. The barely veiled anger and bitterness about her lost family are just sublimated enough to provide time for investigating. I appreciated the black nationalist gone amuck with corruption stuff, but I was happier with Nina's ability to bounce back from major issues. She is smart, credentialed and able to defend her concerns intellectual and otherwise. Looking forward to future encounters with Ms. Halligan.
