Heat Wave, by Richard Castle

Television fans will immediately recognize that Heat Wave by Richard Castle is the book within the series Castle, and that Richard Castle is the fictitious author who is the series' titular character. In the series, Richard Castle is the author who is teamed with Detective Kate Beckett in the series, and the book within the series features a writer named Jamie Rook and a detective named Nikki Heat. As in the series, the ghost-written book opens with a murder and follows the detective's efforts to solve the crime while assisted by the police force and the tag-along writer.

This is not great literature, but it is entertaining pulp fiction.
Those unfamiliar with the show will find this to be an entertaining enough crime drama/buddy story, but fans of the show will especially enjoy the inside references to the series. Upper West Siders will especially enjoy the local references (yes - I'm a sucker for stories that feature my old neighborhood). Heat Wave is a good read for the beach or for those who can't get enough of the show Castle.
