Castle S01E04: Hell Hath No Fury
WHEN A BODY FOUND WRAPPED IN A RUG TURNS OUT TO BE A CITY COUNCILMAN, CASTLE AND BECKETT DISCOVER THAT DIRTY POLITICS CAN BE DEADLY

When the dead body of a New York City Councilman running for re-election rolls out of a rug and into Beckett's case files, she and Castle are thrown into the world of dirty politics. Meanwhile, Castle's final novel in the Derrick Storm series hits the bookstores, causing his mother to search for any and all signs of failure. And at one of his book readings, Beckett tries to throw Castle off his game, only to learn that he has flipped the script on her once again.
