 Emmy Award Winner and Tony Award Nominee Gordon Clapp ("NYPD Blue," "Glengarry Glen Ross") and John Hensley ("Nip/Tuck") Guest Star

 "Meet Market" - Nick and Keppler's case leads them to uncover a black market for human body parts while the rest of the CSI team investigates the case of a wealthy married woman who was found murdered in her own home, on CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, Thursday,  Feb. 1, (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  Paris Barclay directed the episode written by Dustin Lee Abraham, one of the series' co-producers.

Tony Award winner Liev Schreiber ("Glengarry Glen Ross," "The Manchurian Candidate," "RKO 281") returns as Michael Keppler, a seasoned CSI who is new to Las Vegas and is assigned to the night shift during Grissom's teaching sabbatical.  Emmy Award winner and Tony Award nominee Gordon Clapp ("NYPD Blue," "Glengarry Glen Ross") guest stars as mortician Salvatore Heinz.  This episode reunites Schreiber and Clapp who both garnered critical acclaim for their roles in the 2005 Broadway production of "Glengarry Glen Ross."  Additionally, John Hensley ("Nip/Tuck") guest stars as Jesse Hottman, a host at a "host club" for women who pay large sums of cash for celibate "relationships" with the club's hot young male hosts.

A case involving a man's torched corpse, whose bones and tissues had been harvested, leads Nick and Keppler into the disturbing world of illegally secured and sold human body parts.  Meanwhile, Warrick and Sara learn more than they care for about the workings of a new-concept "host club" for women, after discovering that the reportedly happily married murdered woman had been pursuing a "relationship" with Jesse, one of the establishment's most handsome and popular young hosts.
