What Season 9 of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

The season opens with the death of Warrick, whom Sheriff McKeen finds bloodied next to his car. Grissom's team, shaken by the loss, has to get back to work right away. Each case follows the same routine: gathering physical evidence and using it to point to the perpetrator. The investigators face very different crimes, from a young singer with a secret to a psychopath who killed seven couples. Grissom, a reserved entomologist, interprets each scene by focusing on insects and minute details, while Catherine Willows brings her police instincts and deals with her personal life.
