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.
