Issue #2. "The advantage gained by Grissom's recognition of the Ripper pattern is soon negated by the news that there is a Jack the Ripper convention in town. Now the C.S.I. team has almost 150 potential suspects, all with intimate knowledge of the Ripper's crimes. With the convention ending in a week, time is short for the C.S.I. team to solve the mystery before the Ripper claims his third victim."
Issue #3. "The CSIs deal with a copycat killer who's imitating Jack the Ripper, and Grissom is determined not to let history repeat itself. As he, Catherine, and Warrick do their best to out-think the new Jack, another dead woman is the object of Nick and Sara's attention... or are they all after the same killer?"
Issue #4. "Gil Grissom, aided by Catherine Willows and Warrick Brown, has finally interrupted the cycle of the Jack the Ripper copycat killer, and the evidence is beginning to mount -- from a bat-shaped bruise to a prize-winning pooch. But can the CSIs put the puzzle pieces together before a madman rips again?"
Issue #5. "Two grisly cases come to riveting conclusions, as Sara and Nick bag the dumpster murderer, and Grissom, Warrick and Catherine close in on the serial killer whose Jack the Ripper slayings have terrorized the city and embarrassed the department. Is the killer a Ripperologist convention goer, related by blood to one of the original key Whitechapel suspects? The answer lies with a fiend whose motives may mirror the real Saucy Jack all too closely."

As a host of dangerous "business interests" move in to seize control of Wallace's piece of the Miami underworld, Caine's CSIs must piece together the evidence to discover who was responsible for the crime.
