This short story was part of a Richard Castle Christmas for my wife.I picked up the 3 Derek Storm short stories (which this is the 1st) and the first Derek Storm graphic novel (hardback): [Castle: Richard Castle's Deadly Storm (Marvel Premiere Editions).  My son gave her e-books ofDeadly Heat (Nikki Heat)andStorm Front (Derrick Storm).Well, having just read the 1st Nikki Heat novel:Heat Wave (Nikki Heat)(a Christmas gift to my wife from last year), I was in the mood to read about Castle's first big book character: Derek Storm.Derek Storm comes across like a James Bond.......A tough guy, always after the bad guys and chasing women.  He did appear to be a wise cracking hound-dog a bit too much and at times when it felt out of place.  Still, if you are a fan of the Castle TV show, it is worth a shot.  The 3 short stories tie together into one long story.
