Miami and New York will take a couple of weeks off, but CSI returns with a brand new episode "Still Life."

According to CBS, Grissom and the team will have to solve the mysterious disappearance of a 6-year-old boy:

"Without substantial evidence, the CSIs begin to wonder if a kidnapping actually took place at all. But when the child turns up unharmed at a local convenience store with a couple claiming to be his parents, Grissom and his team must use what little forensic evidence is available to solve the mystery of what actually happened to the first mother's son."

"Still Life" was written by veteran David Rambo, who last season co-wrote the episodes "Swap Meet," "Who Shot Sherlock?" and "4 x 4," and directed by veteran Richard J. Lewis.

• David Berman as David Phillips
