The Heat

Jake is a loner who works nights in a Darwin motel. Living in the YMCA, he’s in love with Angel: a prostitute who works out of the low-rent Shark Motel.

A vicious murder turns Jake’s life into a nightmare. He must fight for his life on the heat-soaked streets of Darwin and Bangkok to get revenge. But can he get his life back?

"This story is a crackerjack, it’s a punch in the face kind of book, it grabs hold and literally doesn’t stop until you get to the final pages. Sean O’Leary draws the locations very well, in particular the Bangkok scenes. Being one of my favourite cities in the world I can say O’Leary gets these down with a real authenticity." - Alex Jones
"The Heat simmers throughout, and its characters amply earn their keep in a story that feels substantially larger than the novella within which it's confined. If you get the chance to read it, don't turn down The Heat" - Simon Petrie
