English Summary/英文概要： A novel based on the ABC show Castle. The fourth book in the New York Times bestselling series (HEAT WAVE, NAKED HEAT, HEAT RISES - #1 Hardcover Fiction New York Times), Richard Castle’s new crime novel continues the story of NYPD Homicide Detective, Nikki Heat and hotshot reporter Jameson Rook. In FROZEN HEAT, Nikki arrives at her latest crime scene where the body of an unidentified woman has been found stabbed to death and stuffed inside a suitcase left sitting on a Manhattan street. A startling enough death, but an even bigger shock comes when this new homicide connects to the unsolved murder of Detective Heat’s own mother. The gruesome killing of this Jane Doe launches Heat on a dangerous and emotional investigation, rekindling the cold case that has haunted her since she was nineteen. Paired once again with her romantic and investigative partner, top journalist Jameson Rook, Heat works to solve the mystery of the body in the suitcase while she also digs into unexplored areas of her mother’s background—areas Nikki has been afraid to confront before. The 5th Castle novel will publish in Fall 2013. Licensees must sign our manufacturers agreement.
