City Heat

Los Angeles is a dangerous city.

Detective Ray Maddox already knows that.

Haunted by old ghosts and surviving on instinct more than trust, Maddox has spent years navigating a city where corruption wears a badge and loyalty gets people buried. But when a routine homicide connects to something far bigger than it should, he and his partner Frank Sullivan are pulled into a nightmare that reaches deep beneath the streets of Los Angeles.

The deeper they dig, the more bodies appear.

Somebody is covering something up.

And somebody else is hunting the men asking questions.

As the city begins turning against them, Maddox finds himself dragged toward a past he thought was long dead — and toward the one truth he may not survive uncovering.

City Heat is a gritty neo-noir thriller packed with razor-sharp dialogue, atmospheric tension, unforgettable characters, and relentless momentum.
