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.

really tempting to stay up last night to finish this. As it was, I made myself read to page 105--those of you who watch the show, page 105 was everything it was billed to be. Those of you who don't, I won't spoil you.

This book is a tie in for the series Castle on ABC. My husband and I are fans of the show and pre-ordered the book before it was released.
This book is exactly what you would expect if Richard Castle were a real author. The book is hardly fine ...more...]]>

This book is for people who watch and love the tv show Castle. For non-viewers, I'm not sure how well it would hold up. Most of the book was a lot of fun, but it was definitely colored by the characters in the show, so not much detail was needed there and I don't remember if much w...more...]]>
