A dark, gritty, and authentic novel based on the popular TV show which features the behind-the-scenes forensic investigators who relentlessly untangle evidence in all sorts of harrowing crimes.
Meet the little known and even less understood heroes of police work in Las Vegas - the forensic investigators. Led by veteran Gil Grissom, the remarkable team assigned to the Criminalistics Bureau's graveyard shift - including Catherine Willows, Warrick Brown, Nick Stokes, and Sara Sidle - must combine cutting-edge scientific methods and old-fashioned savvy as they work to untangle the evidence behind the yellow police tape.
Remote. Peaceful. Picturesque. That's how the Mumford Mountain Hotel bills itself in its brochure, and it lives up to its billing - most of the time. But this year, the hotel is hosting a prestigious conference for the study of forensic science, and the organisers have extended CSI head Gil Grissom an invitation he can't refuse.
Joined by fellow investigator Sara Sidle, Grissom leaves the department in the capable hands of Catherine Willows and heads east. But he and Sara soon find themselves in all too familiar territory - and back in Las Vegas, Catherine, Warrick Brown, and Nick Stokes have uncovered trouble of their own.
