A retired judge has been found brutally murdered on the outskirts of Las Vegas, complete with a macabre yet masterfully intricate tattoo on his face . . . the third seemingly random victim of the mysterious kidnapper dubbed by law enforcement as the "Tattoo Man." The judge wasn't the first person to have been abducted, drugged, and permanently altered with tattoos and body modification . . . but he was the first to wind up dead. At the same time, several other deceased are turning up all over Sin City with their body art mercilessly removed--and the timing would seem to suggest to those in authority that all of these crimes are somehow related. But Las Vegas's top crime scene investigators--Catherine Willows, Ray Langston, Nick Stokes, Sara Sidle, and Greg Sanders--aren't jumping to any conclusions, as they attempt to connect the dots by entering the secretive and tight-knit body art community--one that is intensely wary of outsiders. . . .

This CSI novel is about two cases that may or may not be connected. The cases have to do with body modification, both physical modifications as well as tattoos.
The mysteries were interesting. One was about a serial killer/assaulter who severely modified people against their will into various objects. The other about a killer who shot and then partially skinned the victims. Hence my uck at the beginning of the review. It doesn't refer so much to the quality of the book as the subjects of it. And, really, did we have to have quite so graphic descriptions of a part of one of the procedures?
Anyway, as I said, other than the graphic scene it was an interesting book. There was a good balance of the team members, though a little too much Nick Stokes. On the other hand, we also got to see a lot of Archie, though I wish that there had been any Wendy Simms.
It was a typical CSI novel with the cases and investigations (and investigators) being woven together in interesting ways. The beginning did throw me off a bit, but, it evened out after the prologue and a chapter or so. I did like how the author used Grissom in the novel. A solid 3 star book. (
