Heroine comes back to her small town for closure. I'm actually sad that none of her other books quite match this one because it's SO good. Plot-wise, it actually has a lot in common with one of the author's later books, WHITE HOT, replete with murder, family drama, icy heroine still stinging from being estranged from her once-devoted father, and a rugged Cajun bad boy type who drinks beer from the bottle and isn't afraid to get down and dirty. SLOW HEAT IN HEAVEN is an old skool potboiler of the book that drips with vintage sleaze. It's the person who didn't give me the version that has the fancy art of Cash and Schuyler kissing in the swamp roses. So when I'm burning down Gotham or Metropolis or whatever with lasers, you know who to blame. If anyone ever asks what my villain origin story is, it's that I specifically tried to buy a 1980s edition of this book with the stepback art inside and the seller gave me the wrong edition.
