Heat Wave
By Richard Castle

A CRIME TOO HOT TO HANDLE
HEAT WAVE (Hyperion; September 29, 2009; Hardcover; $19.99) is the new novel “written by” the charming and charismatic Richard Castle, the lead in the hit ABC show and bestselling author of the blockbuster Derrick Storm mystery novels.
In HEAT WAVE, Richard Castle introduces his newest character, the tough and sexy NYPD Homicide Detective Nikki Heat. 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. As Nikki works to unravel the secrets of a murdered real estate tycoon, she must also confront the spark between them. A little something called heat.
