Bullenhitze / Höllische Hitze


Explanation:
It is hard to translate literally although Uta seems to be closer than anyone with "mörderische Hitze" given that awkward relationship between justice and murder. It also inspired me to consider the option "Höllische Hitze" as the heat from the "sun of justice" might somehow relate to the infernal flames where evil spirits burn eternally.

By the way I asked the question and would like to thank everyone for your replies but since I wasn''t logged in at the time I now don't know how to do it otherwise.
