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.
Rick Murcer lives in Michigan and like many in that part of the country lost his job in 2008 due to a decline in the economy. An experienced executive, he sent out over 600 resumes without success. With unemployment benefits waning and savings nearly depleted he did the only logical thing he could think of...decide to become a writer.
Fortunately for Rick, he defied all conventional wisdom about self-publishing and literally became an overnight sensation. His first three books Caribbean Moon, Deceitful Moon, and Emerald Moon sold more than 300,000 copies between April and October 2011. He had two books in Amazon's top ten for many weeks and became both a New York Times and USA Today best-selling author.
Rick graduated from Michigan State University and is fairly new to the game of writing. Proving his knack for storytelling, the first piece he had ever written, Herb's Home Run, was published by The Writer's Journal in 2002. Rick attributes his success to hard work and God's blessing and believes that you can achieve any goal you wish if you just set your mind to it.
Rick has been married longer than his wife likes to admit, and they have two grown children, three grandkids, and a blind, black Lab named Max, who serves as Rick's "writing" dog. Each morning Max pushes Rick to his writing room so that the dog can snore on his rug while Rick ponds away on the keys. And pounds away he does. Rick is one of those amazing writers that are so energized by the stories in their heads the words just flow onto the page. He has many works in progress so expect more titles from him in the near future.
I never read mysteries like this but I tried one book and got hooked on them forever a Rick Mercer can if he could only write them as fast as I can read them.
The are many plots going at one time as the team works to solve their latest case. As always you see the case from the perspective of the killer, and the team, I have to agree with the storyline, this killer is different. It's full of nonstop action, and lots of questions regarding the other plots. Anxiously awaiting the next book in the series.
This is an incredible book in the Manny Williams series. I don't want to give spoilers,but this in the best of the series with more mystery,thrills,danger and shocks than ever before. Thank you,Mr. Murcer
This hole series of Manny Williams is a great read. The characters are such a great group, you really feel as though they are real. Can't wAit for the next chapter.
I love Criminal Minds, and I feel like Aaron Hotchner is based on Manny Williams. These characters have really developed through the series, I am looking forward to the next book!
Manny and his crew do it again with more twists and returns. The chapters personalities are expanded and future plots area established. Enjoyed it all and looking forward to Celtic Fire.
