Description
[edit]As Alexx bids farewell to the team, Horatio and her successor find themselves victims of fatal gun-play; but all is not as it appears during the sixth season of CSI: Miami. As Eric fights to regain control of his life, help comes from an unlikely source in the form of deceased Detective Tim Speedle. Horatio faces off with a vengeful private investigator, whilst his undercover past, and his son, come back to haunt him. A body in a sinkhole, internet predators, Horatio's extradition to Brazil, and Calleigh's untimely kidnapping only compound the struggles of Caine, Duquesne, and their elite team of Crime Scene Investigators.
