Product Description
It’s a hot, early autumn evening in the small resort town of Mount Charleston, NV, where six firefighters are battling a massive blaze that threatens expensive homes . . . a blaze that will cost them their lives. Initially, the police determine that the fire was human-started, and the state wants to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law with six counts of homicide. Now the team of Sin City’s finest criminologists, led by Catherine Willows, are assigned to work a crime scene far from the glittering lights and 24/7 spectacle of the Las Vegas Strip, and soon find much more than they bargained for. . . . Meanwhile, Ray Langston and Nick Stokes are called to a crime scene where a dog has taken a key piece of evidence—a severed human hand—under a suburban home’s crawl space. What’s even more disturbing is that it’s not the first severed hand that’s turned up lately—there have been four other incidents around Las Vegas over the past twelve months. . . .

Who the hell is Ty???, July 12 2011

This review is from: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: The Burning Season (Mass Market Paperback)
Book is okay... not my fave. But my biggest problem is one of the greatest typos I've seen in a book. When Mrs. Fontaine comes to yell at the folks on the mountain in chapter 13, they tell her they are so sorry about 'Ty'. But her husband, the firefighter, is Marc. Then the next page or so switched back and forth between the two names:"Mrs. Fontaine," someone said. "I'm so sorry about Ty."
Nick recognized the name--Marc Fontaine had been the fire captain who died."
???
"You and Marc, you were always at odds. ... Some were worse than others."
"But Harley was worst of all. Telling Ty that his advice was unwelcome and unneeded."
???
And it continues through the rest of that scene. Hello... what is his name???

well done, July 2 2011

This review is from: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: The Burning Season (Mass Market Paperback)
On Mt. Charleston where McMansions abut the forest, a fire blazes. The Engine 42 crew tries to put out the flames, but a sudden change in the wind sends the inferno at the first responders killing all of them. In another part of Las Vegas, a dog brings home a human hand and starts chewing on it. Driving home from a fund raiser medic mogul Dennis Daniels, potential political candidate, is hurt by a roadside bomb. The three cases have in common CSI trying to determine who the respective responsible people for each incident are.In the arson incident, CSI uses forensic evidence to track down the killer; they are surprised by the identity and why he did it. DNA leads to the person missing a hand. As for the injuries Dennis incurred, good old fashion police work solves that case. The death of the police officer at the hands of an unknown person without any motive or reason remains a mystery until CSI gets trace evidence that leads them to the cop killers who hide behind a radical fringe group at odds with another strange organization.
Like Lee Goldberg and Donald Bain, Jeff Mariotte writes exciting mysteries based on TV shows. The author understands the essence of CSI and the cast, which enables series fans to believe the inquiries are performed by genuine people working real cases. Especially well done is the smooth transition from one crime to another smoothly, which insures readers will not be jarred from the entertaining story line.
