While investigating the case, the CSI team learn that Gil was once known as Will Graham, the famous FBI profiler involved in Hannibal Lecter's case. A very well written and enthralling piece but very dark. Don't go into this looking for a happy story. While there are few humorous moments I wouldn't recommend this as light reading. If your stomach can handle stronger stuff than the normal romantic fluff, then I would very much recommend reading this fic.
