Brooklyn Heat
by D. James Eldon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Crime Fiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
When a little girl is
found brutally murdered, veteran NYPD homicide detectives Hiro Masimoto and
Ryan Sullivan are determined, against all odds, to solve the case.
In the midst of the
worst heat wave in New York City’s history and with personal and professional
pressures mounting, the detectives pursue the mother’s ex-boyfriend and former
criminal, Nick DeSantis.
But DeSantis, a
two-time felon, has skipped town and the detectives struggle to collect enough
hard evidence to extradite him before he slips completely out of their grasp.
With a cast of outlaw
characters and more twists and turns than a coiled spring, Brooklyn Heat
delivers a taut thriller of the highest caliber.

Excerpt One:
Dawn, hot as fresh blacktop, creeps over Brooklyn. Aggie
Jones, in a worn yellow bathrobe, sits at her window enjoying the breeze from
the air conditioner and watching the sky change color. The street below is
empty of last night’s hipsters and thugs. Drunk vampires crawled back to
whatever hole they sleep in, she thinks.
This is Aggie’s favorite time of day: quiet enough to hear
the birds chirp; cooler and slightly less humid after the concrete has shrugged
off the triple-digit temperature of the previous day. The noise and heat of the
city is turned low for an hour or so between the denizens of night and citizens
of day.
As the tea kettle begins to softly whistle, she sees a man
leaving the house across the street. The one with that nice woman and her
little daughter, she thinks. Seems awfully early to be leaving, unless you got
somewhere very important to be.
The streetlights flicker off as the kettle screams. Aggie
rushes to the kitchen, leaving the quiet and the changing sky behind.
An hour later, she’s squeezed into a seat on the 6 train
with sweaty, unhappy others. The serenity of early morning is forgotten, as are
the birds, sky, and the man across the street.
