CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and its spin-off show CSI: Miami combine the traditional cop show with technology and glossy production values to create two series, based in Las Vegas and Miami, that have become worldwide hits. Only the Crime Scene Investigation team can answer the vital questions about a crime by studying the forensic clues left behind at the scene. What can maggots on a body tell us about the time of death? Does an earprint work in the same way as a fingerprint? CSI: The Files encompasses every episode of the first three seasons of the original show and the first season of the spin-off, covering each episode in turn in accessible sections. It also includes information on the real-life cases and techniques on which the show is based. The book is a complete guide to Gil Grissom, Horatio Caine and their teams, as well as the scientists and cutting-edge forensic techniques at the cutting edge of modern crime investigation.
