Synopsis

Nikki Heat and Jameson Rook race to stop a deadly threat from Heat's past as well as an all-too-present serial killer, in Richard Castle's follow-up to the New York Times best-seller Frozen Heat. Determined to find justice for her mother, top NYPD Homicide Detective Nikki Heat continues to pursue the elusive former CIA station chief who ordered her execution more than a decade ago. For the hunt, Nikki teams once again with her romantic partner, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Jameson Rook, and their quest for the old spy and the motive behind the past murder unearths an alarming terror plot, which is anything but ancient history. It is lethal. It is now. And it has already entered its countdown phase.

Complicating Heat's mission to bring the rogue spy to justice and thwart the looming terror event, a serial killer begins menacing the Twentieth Precinct, and her homicide squad is under pressure to stop him, and soon. Known for his chilling stealth, the diabolical murderer not only singles out Nikki as the exclusive recipient of his taunting messages, he names her as his next victim.

Goodreads review by Monnie on September 23, 2013

Woo hoo - it's another fun, easy-reading book in the series featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jameson Rook and his police detective pal (and lover), Nikki Heat. Nothing mind-bending here, but just an excellent follow-up to Frozen Heat, the most recent. Although the book can stand alone, those......more

Goodreads review by Glen on November 29, 2020

This fifth book in the Castle series goes over the top as Nikki Heat and Jameson Rook go after both the traitor unveiled in the last book, but also face a genius serial killer who likes to kill detectives. Castle tries to shove in so much tension and suspense it almost becomes cartoon-ish.......more

Goodreads review by Marijan on February 12, 2017

Imam osjećaj da je ova bila dulja nod ostalih, ali je fino zaokružila priču, vodila dva na izgled nepovezana slučaja koji su odlično uklopljeni na kraju, i, po običaju puna je aluzija i meta-zezancija. nije petica samo zato što nije re-read materijal......more

Goodreads review by Travis on October 15, 2013

Just as good as the previous installment, with some good twists and turns, even if I found out who the killer was pretty early on. He was kinda of like a Scott Dunn meats 3XK kind of killer. Definitely a fun read for fans of the show, as it is cool seeing what they have Richard Castle use from the c......more
