Heat Wave
(Book 1) |
|
A New York real estate tycoon plunges to his death on a Manhattan sidewalk. A trophy wife
with a past survives a narrow escape from a brazen attack. Mobsters and moguls with no shortage of reasons to
kill trot out their alibis. And then, in the suffocating grip of a record heat wave, comes another shocking
murder and a sharp turn in a tense journey into the dirty little secrets of the wealthy. Secrets that prove
to be fatal. Secrets that lay hidden in the dark until one NYPD detective shines a light.
Mystery
sensation Richard Castle, blockbuster author of the wildly best-selling Derrick Storm novels, introduces his
newest character, NYPD Homicide Detective Nikki Heat. Tough, sexy, professional, Nikki Heat carries a passion
for justice as she leads one of New York City's top homicide squads. She's hit with an unexpected challenge
when the commissioner assigns superstar magazine journalist Jameson Rook to ride along with her to research
an article on New York's Finest. Pulitzer Prize-winning Rook is as much a handful as he is handsome. His
wise-cracking and meddling aren't her only problems. As she works to unravel the secrets of the murdered real
estate tycoon, she must also confront the spark between them. The one called heat. |

(Book 2) |

Nikki Heat and Jameson Rook are together again in Richard Castle's thrilling follow-up to
his New York Times bestseller, Heat Wave. When New York's most vicious gossip columnist, Cassidy Towne, is
found dead, Heat uncovers a gallery of high profile suspects, all with compelling motives for killing the
most feared muckraker in Manhattan. Heat's murder investigation is complicated by her surprise reunion with
superstar magazine journalist Jameson Rook. In the wake of their recent breakup, Nikki would rather not deal
with their raw emotional baggage. But the handsome, wise-cracking Pulitzer Prize-winning writer's personal
involvement in the case forces her to team up with Rook anyway. The residue of their unresolved romantic
conflict and crackling sexual tension fills the air as Heat and Rook embark on a search for a killer among
celebrities and mobsters, singers and hookers, pro athletes and shamed politicians. This new, explosive case
brings on the heat in the glittery world of secrets, cover-ups, and scandals. |

to a dark conspiracy reaching all the way to the highest level of the NYPD.
But when she gets too
close to the truth, Nikki finds herself disgraced, stripped of her badge, and out on her own as a target for
killers with nobody she can trust. Except maybe the one man in her life who's not a cop. Reporter Jameson
Rook.
In the midst of New York's coldest winter in a hundred years, there's one thing Nikki is
determined to prove: Heat Rises. |
