Linda Fairstein’s novel Killer Heat [ISBN 978 0 7515 3806 9] is a continuation of her series featuring “Coop” and sidekicks Chapman and Mercer. The plot is her usual skilful and chilling mystery, revealed slowly as they have to wait for several deaths before they get clues as to what might be going on (and then not quickly). The relationship between the three becomes tedious with little development.
