Castle 04. Frozen Heat

Following Richard Castle's bestsellers Heat Wave, Naked Heat, and Heat Rises, the fourth installment of his Nikki Heat series is here. In this fast-paced novel full of intrigue, which could prove to be Richard Castle's most thrilling crime story yet, Nikki Heat and Jameson Rook team up once again.

NYPD Detective Nikki Heat faces a bigger mystery at her latest crime scene than she anticipated. An unidentified body has been found. The woman was stabbed, stuffed into a suitcase, and left on a street in Manhattan. But that's not all! An even bigger shock follows when it turns out that this case is connected to the unsolved murder of Detective Heat's mother.

The brutal murder of the unknown woman drives Heat into a dangerous and emotional investigation, reopening an old case that has haunted her since she was 19. Alongside her partner in both romantic and investigative matters, star journalist Jameson Rook, Heat works to unravel the mystery of the body in the suitcase while being forced, against her will, to dig into her mother's past.

The question is: Now that her mother's case has unexpectedly resurfaced, will Nikki Heat finally be able to solve the dark secret that has been haunting her for ten years?.
