What Season 7 of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

The seventh season keeps the routine of CSI: Las Vegas. Gil Grissom, a reserved and not very sociable entomologist, continues reading every scene through insects and small details. Catherine Willows, his right hand and a single mother, carries the pressure of solving every case along with her personal problems. The team must turn the clues criminals leave behind into evidence that points to the culprit. One of the main storylines is the hunt for the Miniature Killer, which forces the investigators to decode increasingly strange clues. In addition, a temporary leave of absence by Grissom leaves Catherine in charge of the night shift.
