American film and television director Michael Mann appears to have found a new career in the composing of thriller novels. Deadline reports that Mann “has set his second novel collaboration with Edgar-winning author Meg Gardiner.
After starting out with Heat 2 , a novel that topped the bestseller charts and hatched a movie that Mann is writing to direct at Warner Bros., Mann and Gardiner set up a new original novel that explores an intense global manhunt launched by a renegade federal agent and a stateless operator on a vendetta, in a highly authentic global arena.
The book is intended to serve as the first in a series. It will be the second novel from Michael Mann Books. Mann signed a three-book, multimillion-dollar publishing deal with the HarperCollins division William Morrow. Heat 2 editor Jennifer Brehl will be back for the new book.
