Another quick, easy read (I read this one in the course of a day), BINDING TIES has a great storyline and better editing and character development than the last CSI story I read.
Reading this book is a lot like watching an episode of my favorite show. I'm anxious to get my hands on more titles based on CSI.
This is the third of Max Allan Collins' CSI books that I have read. I plan on reading them all. Nice to have the internal visuals to accompany the book and for Mr. Collins to give me the internal dialogue that we do not have on screen. I recommend them highly. I may not re-post them because I have friends and family that are waiting until I finish the one's I have. Sorry. :) Maybe after they all finish I can offer them.

Gil Grissom and his CSI team are called in to investigate a homicide that perfectly fits the notorious criminal's modus operandi.

Now the CSIs must stop someone who may be a copycat killer from striking again...even as a murderer from the past continues to evade capture, and isn't taking too kindly to rivals...
