Sinopsis

Years ago, Lidia Alvarez left her hometown in Texas to pursue a career in law enforcement in the Midwest. With climate change driving anyone who could afford it to move to colonies on the moon and Mars, just going north was the less extreme option. But Lidia returns to find her hometown depopulated and under-resourced. Her new job at the sheriff's office is one of many cash-strapped workarounds.
 
So when a man turns up mysteriously dead from the intense heat on a closed hiking trail far from any other human beings, Lidia knows she has her work cut out for her. The case looks like a simple one: an unprepared tourist didn't take the dangerous of heat stroke seriously until it was far too late to save himself.
 
But something is telling Lidia that everything is more complicated than it appears. And worse, she fears the answer to her questions may lie closer to her than she'd like.
 
"Heat Death" is a mystery story steeped in science fiction, set in the near future on the edges of the Chihuahuan Desert. It originally appeared in the pages of Analog Science Fiction & Fact Magazine.

    Daniel Woodrell's modern classic is an unforgettable tale of desperation and courage that inspired the award-winning film starring Jennifer Lawrence.   Ree Dolly's father has skipped bail on charges that he ran a crystal meth lab, and the Dollys will lose their house if he doesn't show up for his next court date. With two young brothers depending on her, 16-year-old Ree knows she has to bring her father back, dead or alive. Living in the harsh poverty of the Ozarks, Ree learns quickly that asking questions of the rough Dolly clan can be a fatal mistake. But, as an unsettling revelation lurks, Ree discovers unforeseen depths in herself and in a family network that protects its own at any cost.“The lineage from Faulkner to Woodrell runs as deep and true as an Ozark stream in this book ... his most profound and haunting yet.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review​
