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. PulitzerPrize-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. About the AuthorRichard Castle
