A vicious killer is running amok in El Yunque, Puerto Rico's lush rainforest, and taking no prisoners, only body parts. Manny and the crew are called in, but they're too late.

Manny Williams is dead. Sophie Lee could hardly get her mind around it; none of them could. Manny's attacker shows up at his funeral, and all hell breaks loose as Sophie makes a life-changing discovery. Everything isn't as it seems. Tie in a cold-blooded killer running rampant near the sandy beaches of North Carolina with an unexpected connection to Manny Williams, and the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit had more than it could handle. If only Manny could speak to them . . .
Manny Williams and his friends in the BAU are rocked. They return home from ordeals in North Carolina to find that Doctor Fredrick Argyle’s body is missing from the Michigan cemetery where he was buried almost a year before. If the missing body isn’t peculiar enough, Manny’s wife, Chloe, receives an Argyle-like text from Las Vegas threatening the future of Manny’s unborn child. Those circumstances send Manny and his team on a wild ride to Sin City—where the lights are bright and the murder bizarre—directly into the clutches of a killer who wants nothing more than to see Manny dead.
Vacation is a magical word to all of us, even for workaholic FBI Special Agent Manny Williams. It was finally time to take a break from the BAU and profiling psychotic killers, and Manny was ready. His five-month-old son, Ian, was in good hands with his daughter and mother-in-law so why not? Manny and wife Chloe were going to get away for a few days, far away, and enjoy the honeymoon that had never been theirs. Nothing fit that prospect like Cozumel, Mexico and one of its exclusive resorts. Hot sun, warm sand, teal waters, margaritas, and his wife in a bikini were just what the doctor, and his boss, Josh Corner, had ordered. But destiny, and a persistent Mexican Government Inspector, had other plans. A crazed killer performing sacrificial murders in the tradition of ancient Mayan priests was turning the sleepy island upside down. The multiple murders pressed Manny and his crew into a maddening race against time, forcing him to choose between family and the lives of kidnapped victims. Who would survive?
A double homicide near the Florida Everglades, where the killer leaves a bizarre trademark, takes Manny and the BAU to South Florida at the request of the Miami-Dade Police Department. They arrive in Miami just in time to discover that the killer has struck again, and this time, his method of double-murder is even more mind boggling. The BAU goes to work, but Manny has a sense that things are going to be different, that this killer is different than any they've chased before, and he fears for his team. His suspicions prove to be fact as the unsub succeeds in killing a third time, affecting Manny's world in a profound way as he loses more than he imagined possible.
Before Caribbean Moon, Manny Williams and Sophie Lee spent years as detectives and partners with the Lansing Police Department. It almost didn't happen. See how, on that Snowy December day, fate led to their unexpected meeting and how deadly evil did it's best to prevent it. You'll never look at Christmas the same again, guaranteed.
Manny Williams was out. No More FBI. No more BAU. Sophie Lee, his close friend and long time partner had lost her husband during the last case in Miami. It left him a changed man. Enough is enough. It was time to do something else. But, Josh Corner, his friend and former boss, had something different in mind. He was starting a new super unit focusing on potential terrorism suspects and their profiles. Manny's answer was still no, yet, can anyone escape who they are? Even Manny? A bizarre murder scene in New Orleans helped convince Manny and Sophie, and the rest of his former team to take the leap onto Josh's new team, at least for now. Only time would tell if that decision was the right one. After landing in New Orleans, Manny was convinced of only one thing. Death was around the corner unless his team did their job. Worse, even if they did.
