Book Overview
The Miami Dade Crime Lab is called in to examine the body of a young woman who has washed ashore on an island in Florida Bay. Lieutenant Horatio Caine is quick to identify the probable murder weapon: a shark dart used by the navy as part of an experimental program to kill enemy divers. However, during the autopsy, Doctor Alexx Woods finds that the true cause of death was drowning; the dart was used postmortem.When another mangled body of a woman is discovered, Caine begins to suspect the worst. The unusual and violent nature of the crimes bears all the hallmarks of an organized serial killer -- sexual predation, a great deal of preparation and a disturbingly distorted worldview. Now, the lieutenant and his team must race to piece together all the clues to stop the murderer before they can strike again.

It's Hot in Miami
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is the first CSI: MIAMI title I've read by author Donn Cortez, and I truly enjoyed it. In my opinion, Mr. Cortez does a much better job than author Max Allan Collins at characterization and getting inside the minds of both the CSI players and the people involved in the particular case. The plot line of RIPTIDE is strange but believable, with a perpetrator who is obsessed with a merman from an old film. The only thing that kept this book from being a 5-star read was the ending, which, although plausable, was too quickly wrapped up in only a few sentences.
A fast-paced story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is the first book of the CSI series that I have read. This story immediately hooked me in the first few paragraphs. While the character development of the CSI team and the suspects is really good, sometimes the details around the actual work of the investigators was very technical. However, the detailed aspects added to the whole story development. I recommend this book because it is a fun and fast mystery with great characters.

I really enjoyed the book. Some of the details left me not wanting to eat sometimes because the material was a little to grafic for my taste but then again that is what CSI is all about. However, the graffics not with standing I still enjoyed the book tremendously and honestly was very surprised at the end.
