“The bank job was not the first time Kelso worked with McCauley, and not the last time he will work with Chris,” Mann revealed. The book also covers the lives –six years before the bank heist - of master thieves McCauley and Shiherlis, whose character becomes central in the post-1995 world of Heat, as well as Charlene (Ashley Judd), Nate (Jon Voight), Trejo (Danny Trejo) and the wheelchair-bound Kelso (Tom Noonan), who provided the bank alarm schematics to McCauley in the film. In Chicago, that included the hunt for a particularly vicious crime crew. It includes the failing of his earlier marriage, the effects of his Marine Corp service in Vietnam and conflicts within the Chicago PD where he discovers his life’s calling – the pursuit of armed and dangerous felons into the dark and wild places that would doom his marriage in Heat. Heat 2 explores the dangerous workings of international criminal organizations with full-blooded portraits of its male and female inhabitants.Ī key is a deep dive into the life of Hanna, six years earlier, in Chicago and signature cases that honed his skills.

The story moves to both the six years preceding the heist and the years immediately following it, featuring new characters and new worlds of high-end professional crime, with highly cinematic action sequences. The novel Heat 2 starts one day after the events of the film, with a wounded Chris Shiherlis desperate to escape LA. Many of the events depicted in the film actually happened. The cat and mouse game between Hanna and McCauley was informed by real life ex-cop Chuck Adamson and his obsessive pursuit of the real Neil McCauley, a wily ex-con from Chicago who lived to take down big scores. The book represents the first novel from Michael Mann Books - which signed a multi-million dollar deal with HarperCollins imprint William Morrow - and it marks Mann’s debut as a novelist.
“There was always a rich history or back-story about the events in these people’s lives before 1995 in Heat and projection of where their lives would take them after.” “It’s been my intention for a long time to do the further stories of Heat,” Mann told Deadline.

Mann held back on the interaction between Pacino and De Niro (they appeared in Godfather Part II but in different eras) until the famous coffee shop scene filmed at the now-closed Wilshire Boulevard eatery Kate Mantilini, that created an understanding between them and framed the inevitable showdown after a bank heist goes awry. The film teamed for the first time Al Pacino and Robert De Niro at the peak of their careers, and personalized the lives of characters on both sides of the law. To remind, the meticulously plotted mano a mano matchup between LAPD Homicide/Robbery lieutenant Vincent Hanna and master thief Neil McCauley became a seminal entry in the crime film canon. To those like myself who’ve watched the atmospheric Los Angeles-based heist thriller dozens of times, the prospect of its creator revisiting the terrain and characters is something to look forward to.

The surprise here: the novel coming August 9 from William Morrow through the HarperCollins-based Michael Mann Books imprint will tell an original story about the lives of the characters in that movie both before and after the events depicted in the movie. EXCLUSIVE: Michael Mann is ready to rip on Heat 2, a novel he has written with Edgar-winner Meg Gardiner that expands the tapestry of his 1995 crime classic film.
