Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Detectives Mac Taylor, Danny Messer, Sheldon Hawkes, and Don Flack are called in to investigate a double homicide at a medium-security facility on Staten Island. Racial tensions turned the prison into a pressure cooker that finally boiled over in an all-too-lethal fashion, leaving two inmates dead. One of the killings is an open-and-shut case, complete with eyewitnesses; but the other, the murder of a former cop, defies easy answers. Initial investigation of the crime scene points to one cause of death, but the CSI team's scientific methods uncover something completely different -- and wholly unexpected....
On the other edge of the city, Stella Bonasera and Lindsay Monroe look into the murder of a young woman who worked at a popular Italian bakery in the Bronx. They find the perfect suspect almost immediately: a frequent customer who spent a lot of time flirting with the victim and who previously had been arrested for a violent crime. Yet Stella can't help but think that their perfect suspect is just a little too perfect for such a messy murder....
Nothing is as it seems as New York City's dedicated crime scene investigators piece together the clues and examine the evidence to discover the true killers in their midst.

This book seems to have been written by a 14 year old. Just the scene which is described above drove me bonkers. To be honest I stopped around page 30. What is the purpose of Flack's buddy pestering him to take his pain meds? Maybe it plays into the story later but I'll never know. The Flack I watch on TV is not the Flack in this book. Poor Eddie Cahill.

DeCandido continues to weave stories and portray the characters that are consistent with the TV show, so if you like the show, you'll like the books, including this one. "Four Walls" is, in my opinion, equivalent to one of the better episodes -- about an A- or B+ if you grade the episodes on a curve.

This book reads exactly like a television episode, with two important and WONderful differences: It's chock full of lovely narration and buckets of backstory, two things missing from any episode you might watch, simply because there isn't enough time.
As many of us already know, in the Star Trek universe, Keith is King of the backstory, and this CSI novel is no different in that respect. We are privvy to the fears and dreams of the main characters we know and love, and what's more, Keith also takes us inside the minds of the criminals, giving us information unknown to the detectives and CSI's.
The story, just like many of the episodes, centers around two wildly disparate crime scenes, one in a prison and one in a bakery, and in the end, the crimes are solved using a number of cool techniques, clever thinking, and plain old dumb luck.
Add to that Stella Bonasera's "fifty-megawatt smile" (which can only be fully appreciated by actually watching Melina Kanakaredes deliver it on the show) and honest-to-God Italian cannoli, and, boom, you've got yourself a weeener.
