'CSI: New York' Novel To Hit Stands This Week

The CSI: New York novel "Blood On The Sun" will finally be available for purchase this week.

In Blood In The Sun, a married couple and their daughter are found brutally murdered, while their son has been kidnapped. Mac Taylor and Danny Messer must find him before it's too late. Across town, in a heavily Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn, the body of a devoutly religious man is found ritually displayed on the floor of his synagogue. Stella Bonasera and Aiden Burn initially suspect a fringe fundamentalist group that has had run-ins with the victim's congregation, but the group is led by a charismatic and antagonistic man who does everything he can to stonewall the team's investigation.

Blood On The Sun author Stuart Kaminsky had no problem penning down this book, considering he's a fountain of crime plots. "I have more ideas than I have time to write," he told the Chicago Jewish News. "I've always had so many ideas, so many things I wanted to do, I knew I could do them, I just have to have the time to do them. I have to do the ones I've already contracted for."

Even for writers who have problems coming up with accurate plots, Kaminsky explained it's just as easy as picking up the newspaper. "With mystery writers, as far as they're concerned (getting ideas) isn't even worth talking about. I can look at the newspaper and get ideas for two novels. I'm not going to do them, but I could."

With a load of mystery novels under his belt, the author knows writers don't always get it right on crime shows. "There are a lot of things that are inaccurate, including on CSI. But if you're good enough, you make it look authentic and people believe you. My favorite series is Law and Order, and they play games with (the truth), they go back and forth on procedure. In terms of being accurate, they're no more accurate than the others, but that's not why I'm watching the show."

"Blood On The Sun" will be available for purchase on March 28th. To read the rest of the interview with Kaminsky, head over his official website.
