Synopses & Reviews
In the tradition of the Golden Globe-nominated television show that juggernauted to the head of its timeslot, Neon Oasis finds the enigmatic investigator Gil Grissom leading a team trained to solve crimes the old-fashioned way -- by examining every piece of evidence in search of the truth.
Readers will meet the little known, and even less understood, heroes of police work in Las Vegas: the forensic investigators. Led by veteran 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 street smart savvy as they work to untangle the evidence behind the yellow police tape.
Synopsis
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 organizers 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.
