Page 25 of Shock Treatment


  Sweat streamed down Park’s face. He looked just as terrified as the unsuspecting victims on his other TV show. Catherine couldn’t resist delivering the coup de grace.

  “Surprise,” she told him. “You got Shock Treatment.”

  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  I want to thank my editor, Ed Schlesinger, and the good folks at CBS for giving me a second chance to test the wits of the ace investigators at the Las Vegas crime lab; I tried hard to come up with cases worthy of the original TV show, which I look forward to watching every week. I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to write Ray Langston and Sara Sidle for the first time.

  Researching a CSI novel is always an education. This time around, I can thank the friendly doctors and staff at the Applebrook Veterinary Clinic in Oxford, Pennsylvania, for answering my questions about cat scratches, and the Hand & Stone Massage and Spacial Spa in nearby Kennett Square for letting me tour their premises. I promise I didn’t see any dangerous reptiles on the loose at either location.

  As always, I can’t forget my agents, Russ Galen and Ann Behar, for handling the contractual details. And my girlfriend, Karen, for all her support and patience, even when I kept talking her ears off about voiceprints, coral snakes, elastic braces, and interrogations.

  Finally, our four-legged family—Alex, Churchill, Henry, Sophie, and Lyla—did their best to distract me, but somehow I managed to get the book done anyway.
