Cut and Run: CSI Miami (Donn Cortez)

Cut and Run: CSI Miami

Don Cortez

Blurb: By air, sea, and land the members of the Miami-Dade Crime Lab are called out. In a field outside the everglades a ballon has just set down; the lone man inside the basket is dead - an apparent suicide. A yacht riddled with bullets limps into the Port of Miami; only a gravely wounded hijacker survives, confessing that their are drugs somewhere on board, but he can't find them. A local journalist, looking to break out of the rat race with a novel based on the people he covers on his beat, is found dead.

In the yacht's gallery is a record-setting sunfish that seems to be the key piece of evidence to just what was being smuggled on the shop, yet the lab is stumped when they discover no more than the normal parasites infesting the fish. A raunchy video of a citrus heiress having sex in a public place gives her the motive to kill the journalist-turned-novelist, but she has an alibi. All small pieces of the puzzles that Horatio Caine and the member of his team have to unravel to find out why all these people were killed. Before it is over the members of the Miami-Dade Crime Lab are caught up in the intrigue that reaches to the heart of Castro's Cuba.

Freezer Burn (D.H. Dublin)

Freezer Burn - A C.S.U. Investigation

D.H. Dublin

Blurb: It's hot in Philly - but murder has a way of giving you the chills.

Crime Scene Investigation: The scientific examination of the physical evidence at a crime scene, including, but not limited to, evidence photography and collection, fingerprint processing, blood and fluid-splatter interpretation, and forensic pathology.

Crime Scene Unit (C.S.U.): A group of forensic investigators who use cutting-edge technology to carry out crime scene investigations, helping to bring killers to justice.

A trash bag full of hacked-off body parts. A dead man thrown from a moving car. A young gang member, brutally tortured and killed. And a yellow, shrivelled corpse oozing something other than blood.

The cases seem to have nothing to do with one another, but together they point to a plot more elaborate - and more sinister - than anything C.S.U. rookie Madison Cross has ever seen. To investigate, she'll have to descend into Philly's seedy underworld of gang brutality and then rise to the highest echelons of organised crime - though there are members of both worlds who hope to see her eliminated, once and for all...
