Deadly Heat is the fifth novel in Richard Castle's series about NYPD homicide detective Nikki Heat and journalist Jameson Rook. It was released on September 17, 2013. The novel is published by Hyperion Books in collaboration with ABC. ABC produces the TV series Castle where the main character, Richard Castle, to whom the book is credited, shadows NYPD Detective Kate Beckett.
On ABC's mystery television show Castle, Richard Castle is a best-selling author who is a consultant to the NYPD and is assigned to Detective Kate Beckett, who is his muse for the series. The novel is written over the period of the fifth season. On February 5, 2013 ABC announced that the fifth novel will be released on September 17, 2013 in hardcover. The novel will be 240 pages long. The serial killer in this novel will be partially based on Season 2 serial killer, Scott Dunn. As expected, the cover is similar to previous covers in the series, with a silhouette of Detective Heat.
