Williams also places BODY HEAT in the "erotic thriller" category, which suggests that we should examine her filmography in greater detail in order to determine the linkages and disjunctures in this sub-type. Clearly we can discount 95% of the output in this area as it is nothing but prurient product barely disguised with "thriller" overtones.
I'll have to check down at the office to see which of her books I've managed to acquire--the early part of the book per the Google Books link sounds familiar to me, but it would've been 10-12 years since I looked through anything related to neo-noir...
