About this Item

New; pristine and immaculate. New York: Hyperion, 2009. First Edition and First Printing of Heat Wave by (the pseudonymous) Richard Castle. Also with the points of: no date on copyright page, and 09/09 on the rear jacket flap. This example is a first as first gets. Octavo, illustrated jacket (uncredited), black cloth boards, silver spine imprinting, 198 pp. New, flawless, immaculate, and pristine, and of course a wall-to-wall first, chronologically. A collector piece. The first novel in the series inspired by the series of "novels" in the "Castle" television series, which were, in the television series, "written" by the television "Richard Castle", Nate Fillion. There will be a quiz on that. Heat Wave was not, in fact, written by Nate Fillion, but it will be a long time before the identity of the actual author is divulged. If ever. Some folks think it was written by the late Stephen J. Cannell (who was a best-selling author, and whose semi-tongue-in-cheek promo quote appears on the back cover here), but those folks are just fishin'. But, somewhere, someone knows. L17n.

About this title

Synopsis

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.
