This Nikki Heat book has more international/spy intrigue. It was fun to read and flows well with the previous books in the series.
Nikki Heat is still trying to solve her mother's murder and is seemingly closing in when a serial murderer seems intent on playing games with her. Another pair of investigators come on the scene and disrupt her as well. It seems that Rook and the female investigator have had a relationship in the past. Nikki has to put her dislike of her to cooperate with them to solve the serial killer's murder. This serial killer seemingly is tied up with her mother's case and everything is getting muddy. I enjoyed the interaction between Heat and Rook as well as her team. It helps that I can put faces to the characters as they are acting very true to the tv show.
