A: the team; Q: Who works with Grissom to analyze the miniature? A: the real location; Q: What do Grissom and his team need to find? A: a tragedy; Q: What is the team trying to prevent? Summary: Grissom is shocked when he opens a package sent to him while he was on sabbatical and finds a miniature crime scene inside, especially as the case of the previous miniatures was supposed to have been closed.
