NYPD Detective
Nikki Heat is assisted by Officers Ochoa and Raley and impeded by journalist
Jameson Rook (although he does provide occasional valuable insights) as she
works to solve the suicide/murder of development tycoon Matthew Starr.
Heat Wave
is a real whodunit police procedural written with wit, tight dialogue and
fast-paced action. The minute I had the mystery solved along came new evidence
to put on the white board.
ABC television
(Monday night 10/9 Castle)taken on Nikki Heat and made her Detective Beckett and
the journalist Jameson Rook becomes novelist Richard Castle, solving crimes in
one hour rather than 196 pages.
