On Wednesday at 10:00pm ET/PT, CSI: New York concludes the Compass Killer storyline with “Manhattanhenge”:

In the culmination of a multi-episode mystery, Mac and his team uncover the dark lair of a murderous madman, the Compass Killer. But as they race to save his fourth victim, the sunrise presents one final surprise that no one ever expected.

This is the fourth time Matt Earl Beesley has directed an episode of New York. His most recent credit was for “Lat/Long”, which was the first episode in the Compass Killer story arc. Co-executive producer Trey Callaway has seven writing credits for the series, including “Lat/Long”.

The episode will feature the following actors and actresses in guest-starring roles:

Skeet Ulrich as Hollis Eckhart

Rounding out the week on Thursday at 9:00pm ET/PT, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation will air a repeat of “The Grave Shift” from last season. It was the first day of work for Dr Ray Langston (Laurence Fishburne), who investigated a burglary and a complicated case involving murder and arson.
