Manny Williams is a Lansing, Michigan police detective who starts the series as a local homicide investigator and ends it as a member of an elite FBI counter-terrorism unit. He first appears in Caribbean Moon (2011), where a vacation cruise with his wife Louise turns into a serial killer investigation that catches the FBI’s attention.
Over the course of ten novels, Manny joins the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit under supervisor Josh Corner and partners with his longtime colleague Sophie Lee on cases spanning the Caribbean, the American South, Las Vegas, and the Louisiana bayou. He has a talent for noticing small details that other investigators overlook, and his instincts consistently prove reliable even when the evidence points elsewhere. His relationship with Sophie is the backbone of the series – professional, trusting, and full of the kind of shorthand that comes from years of working together.
