The Tennyson Hardwick Collection

Casanegra, In the Night of the Heat, and From Cape Town with Love

About The Book

A dream team collaboration of award-winning Hollywood actor and author of Before I Got Here Blair Underwood and award-winning novelists—and married couple—Tananarive Due and Steven Barnes bring you three of their hot, action-packed novels.

Casanegra
Casanegra follows the adventures of Tennyson Hardwick, a gorgeous, sexy actor and former gigolo, living on the fringes of the good life in Hollywood. This story, which chronicles the redemption of a prodigal son, combines the glamour of Hollywood with the seedy hopelessness of the inner city.

In the Night of the Heat
Award-winning actor and author Blair Underwood joins forces with two amazing and award-winning authors Tananarive Due and Steven Barnes to deliver the second installation in the stunning and provocative Tennyson Hardwick novel In the Night of the Heat.

From Cape Town with Love
Actor-turned-detective Tennyson Hardwick has solved two high-profile deaths in Hollywood, but nothing has prepared him for a race to save a child’s life. This thrilling page-turner will have readers waiting with bated breath to discover what lies behind the secrecy and causes men and women to risk jail (or worse) to gain power and wealth—even if it means risking the life of an innocent child.
