Mortal Wounds by Max Allan Collins
The most exciting and thrilling of Max Allan Collins' CSI: Crime Scene Investigation books are combined together in this omnibus edition. Double Dealer, Sin City, and Cold Burn explore the dark and gritty side of police work with veteran investigator Gil Grissom and his brilliant team. In Double Dealer Grissom and Catherine are challenged by the investigation of a newly discovered murder from fifteen-years ago and the rest of the team must discover the identity of a cold blooded killer with an execution style before he strikes again. Sin City has Grissom and his team tracking down a sordid trail of secret lives and private dances, from the saintly to the seedier side of Sin City. And in Cold Burn Grissom and Catherine find themselves in dangerous territory when they attend a prestigious conference for the study of forensic science at the usually peaceful Mumford Mountain Hotel. But their tranquillity is dramatically disrupted and Grissom finds himself in the midst of a dramatic plot. Back in Las Vegas, the team under the leadership of Willows also have uncovered trouble of their own.
