Richard Castle Libri

Incalzante e ricco di colpi di scena, "Heat Rises" è il terzo thriller di Richard Castle, dove tornano in azione Nikki Heat, la determinata e sensuale detective della squadra omicidi di New York, e il giornalista premio Pulitzer Jameson Rook. Lo strano assassinio di un prete avvenuto in un club sadomaso apre la missione più elettrizzante e rischiosa che sia mai capitata a Nikki Heat, che la vedrà alle prese con il più brutale signore della droga di New York, con un arrogante fornitore della CIA e con uno spietato squadrone della morte intenzionato a farla fuori. Ma tutto ciò è solo la punta di un iceberg che riconduce a un'oscura organizzazione ramificata fino ai piani più alti del dipartimento di polizia e che sembra coinvolgere persino il capitano Montrose - da sempre punto di riferimento della detective - che forse nasconde un segreto inconfessabile. Una volta vicina alla verità, Nikki si scoprirà abbandonata da tutti, sospesa dall'incarico di detective e privata della sua fedele pistola. Senza nessuno di cui potersi fidare, si ritroverà braccata da cinque uomini in passamontagna in un Central Park spettrale e sepolto nella neve. E nell'inverno più freddo che New York abbia registrato negli ultimi cento anni, l'unica certezza che le rimane è il solo uomo nella sua vita che non è un poliziotto: il giornalista Jameson Rook. E assieme a lui che tenterà di venire a capo di questa sporca e intricata faccenda.

If New York Police captain Nikki Heat is acting like she's seen a ghost, it's for good reason. Her mother, Cynthia, presumed dead for seventeen years, has resurfaced-but the threat that made her go into hiding is as grave as ever.

From Tokyo to London, high-level bankers are being gruesomely murdered. The killer, Gregor Volkov, is Derrick Storm's old nemesis. Desperate to figure out who Volkov is working for, the CIA calls on the one man who can match Volkov's strength and cunning - Derrick Storm.

Derrick Storm is returning from a rock climbing vacation in the Swiss Alps, when the plane spirals into a nose-dive. Storm heroically saves the plane and all the people on board. Sadly, Storm isn't available to come to the aid of the three other planes that have crashed under similar circumstances, killing everyone on board.
