High Heat by Carl Deuker
An ISIS-style beheading of a journalist, carried out by a New York City group pledging fealty to that rogue state, becomes more than just another case for NYPD Captain Nikki Heat when the killers announce their next target: her husband, magazine writer Jameson Rook. Meanwhile, Heat is haunted by a fleeting glimpse of someone she swears is her mother. a woman who has been dead for nearly twenty years.
Deuker, Carl: -
Carl Deuker is a celebrated author of top-flight sports writing matched to uncommonly perceptive coming-of-age stories (Kirkus Reviews). He describes his younger self as a classic second-stringer: I was too slow and too short for basketball; I was too small for football, a little too chicken to hang in there against the best fastballs. So, by my senior year the only sport I was still playing was golf. He was a teacher for many years in the Seattle area, where he now lives with his wife.
