Foxs lover, Dr. Alicia Ho, M.D., learns that she has cancer and although pregnant, flees to China, the land of her birth. Fox resigns from the police department to follow her to China. However, he is soon declared persona non grata by the Chinese government and forced to leave China without his family when Fox refuses to accept an investigators job with the Peoples Party to spy on American tourists at the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing. After our protagonist is expelled from China, Fox moves to Las Vegas, Nevada where he accepts the most sought-after law enforcement job in Nevada, that of Chief Investigator with the Nevada Gaming Control Board. In his new position, Fox is responsible for ferreting out the criminals that perpetrate major criminal acts against the casinos, and by association, the good people of the State of Nevada. The television series, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, also entices Fox into accepting a lucrative technical script advisory consultancy contract to ensure that factual forensic realism is incorporated into series scripts, which is crucial to ensure that the acclaimed CBS television series continues to hold its lead against other copycats CSI dramas.
