Anthony Zuiker, creator of the “CSI” police shows on CBS, is using the Oct. 14 episode of the flagship series in a unusual bid to promote his new crime novel and a Web movie with same villain.
CBS, the most-watched network, approved Zuiker’s plan to write a “CSI” episode with the serial killer Sqweegel from his book “Dark Prophecy,” the author said in an interview near the set. The episode features Ann-Margret as a wealthy Las Vegas woman with a past that the villain uses against her.
