Summaries

From the distributor:

In Las Vegas for a convention, Blair is eager to meet Gil Grissom, the CSI officer with whom he’s been discussing cases by email. While Sentinel and Guide are there, Nick Stokes, Gil’s co-worker and lover, is kidnapped. The ransom is something only Gil can give, and Nick’s death is the cost of refusal.

From an AMC flyer:

This is a continuation of the first novel, "Winner Takes All", but a complete novel within itself. This story continues the adventures of the CSI force in Las Vegas, Nevada, only now Gil and Nick are introduced to Jim Ellison and Blair Sandburg. The two Cascade detectives are in Las Vegas to attend a profiling conference, which is Blair's new position on the Cascade police force. Blair and Gil have been emailing each other about specific cases prior to their meeting for the first time and Sandburg is excited to meet the CSI group and see how their crime scene investigators perform. Jim goes along because ... that's where Blair is. Jim, Blair, Gil and Nick quickly for a good friendship. Unfortunately Nick is kidnapped by a cop who wants something from Gil and threatens the CSI team leader with Nick's death if he does not comply. Can Jim and Blair help Gil get Nick back before it is too late? An exciting CSI/Sentinel story with another novel planned after continuing with this extraordinary foursome.
