NATIONAL READERS’ CHOICE AWARD WINNER Stacey Daniels has always been attracted to the wrong type of man . . . And she knows in her heart the virile, wounded Viking at her front doorstep will certainly be no exception. A vision from her most secret erotic fantasies—a glorious god of a man—he excites her with his tantalizing aura of dangerous sensuality. Stacey knows in the deepest depths of her soul that submission will bring unforeseen peril into her life, and yet she is helpless to resist him—for he is a master of decadent pleasures and sweet seduction . . . and all she has ever wished for. But loving Connor carries a burden that no mortal woman can bear. Though he finds solace in Stacey’s passion and the warmth of her welcoming body, his true realm is one of darkest dreams, torn by violence and strife, that is now following him into Stacey’s world . . . “Day’s hot and steamy sex scenes will leave readers breathless and aching for more. The hero and heroine are believable and well written, and the hero is rugged and definitely dreamy.” —RT Book Reviews “In normal Sylvia Day style, Heat of the Night absolutely rocked my world! I love EVERYTHING Sylvia Day writes, but this one is definitely one of my faves. I seriously, utterly loved this book.” —Romance Reader at Heart

A 50th-anniversary edition of the pioneering novel featuring African American police detective Virgil Tibbs—with a foreword by John Ridley, creator of the TV series American Crime and Oscar-winning screenwriter of 12 Years a Slave “They call me Mr. Tibbs” was the line immortalized by Sidney Poitier in the 1967 Oscar-winning movie adaptation of In the Heat of the Night, which won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel and the Crime Writers’ Association Gold Dagger Award and was named one of the 100 Favorite Mysteries of the 20th Century by the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association. Now fans of classic crime can rediscover this suspense-filled novel whose hero paved the way for James Patterson’s Alex Cross, George Pelecanos’s Derek Strange, and other African American detectives. A small southern town in the 1960s. A musician found dead on the highway. It’s no surprise when white detectives arrest a black man for the murder. What is a surprise is that the black man—Virgil Tibbs—is not the killer but a skilled homicide detective, passing through racially tense Wells, South Carolina, on his way back to California. Even more surprising, Wells’s new police chief recruits Tibbs to help with the investigation. But Tibbs’s presence in town rubs some of the locals the wrong way, and it won’t be long before the martial arts–trained detective has to fight not just for justice, but also for his own safety.

Many people have fled the city, and those who stayed behind find themselves thrown together in an odd intimacy born of crisis. Stella Rodney is one of those who chose to stay. But for her, the sense of impending catastrophe becomes acutely personal when she discovers that her lover, Robert, is suspected of selling secrets to the enemy, and that the man who is following him wants Stella herself as the price of his silence. Caught between these two men, not sure whom to believe, Stella finds her world crumbling as she learns how little we can truly know of those around us.

Children are definitely crying somewhere now. There are those who rummage through garbage containers, those looking for a job, those who lean their heads on their knees and brood. There are those who are sleeping and those who can’t sleep. There are children, young people and old people. There are the dead, the alive, and infants unaware of anything. There are the sober and drunk. There are the married and the homeless. Of course, somewhere there are empty streets and crowded parties. There are also those in bed, on the road, and those who work at this hour. There are those with good fortune and those who have nothing but bad luck. There are dreams and ghosts. There’s a giant snare, an apocalyptic crowd. There are those with slanted eyes, and those with coal black skin. There are those who hope for God’s help and those who have their butts kicked. There are those who may soon find themselves in big trouble, and those who have not, or will not, have run into a single serious problem throughout their lives. Bullets are raining down on people somewhere right now. Champagne bottles whose corks were simultaneously popped amidst spontaneous laughter.
