Commander Kieron Philips first civilian job is to commentate on the Panama Canal transit and be in uniform at a commemoration service on a cruise ship his sponsored refugee has grown to become a dancer on. Now a civilian, Kieron's quasi-adopted daughter wants him to find romance but his highly tuned instincts sense serious trouble. Money appears and people go missing as the ship sails between South American ports. With no protective kit, no backup and not armed he avoids ruthless gang appointed assassins on the ship, looking for money he should not have to guard. Worse still, after a career serving his country with no family to make him vulnerable, he has skin in the game; Auli'i, who now calls him dad. Nothing is worth putting her at risk but as the deathly game escalates, he figures his presence is more than a coincidence. But how? She arranged his visit.
Hunter and Witowski have just started their Miami based cruise crime investigation unit when the three guests are killed on a cruise ship that is out of helicopter assistance range. The Panama to Tahiti crossing is all ocean. Eleven lonely, isolated days of romance at sea that can bleed no more. They board a long-range coast guard plane for a night jump into the Pacific as near to the ship as is possible. Another body is found before they change clothes, and another murder happens each night. The ship's security officer Ruby Jenkins soon develops ideas a taste to join what she sees as a more exciting future, but it is Prisha from data wrangling in the ship’s office who is seconded to help CSCI. If they can stay alive long enough to find the killer. 
When asked to investigate a simple problem at sea, Hunter avoids too much information. He has a newborn baby at home and knows cruise operators never call CSCI for simple. Still recovering from an almost fatal head injury, his partner Kieron must leave the beach-front Caribbean villa he bought with Georgie. They had a strange fling, thrown together by discovered millions they had to spend then and there, as Keiron solved the heist that launched CSCI. Her partner, ex KGB agent Bedrîska is living there with Georgie but leaves with Kieron to be his undercover wife as he goes from one 
Art is being systematically stolen from the collection on the most luxurious cruise ship at sea. The collective value is way beyond the sum people kill for. CSCI is approached to work invisibly because unlike INTERPOL or any other international crime unit, art police, valuers, insurance investigators, or experts, they are unknown to the thieves. They must remain unseen or the crime will stop, the thieves will vanish and the art lost for good. The ace CSCI play is their intern Macey who can be on the ship as the star guest. It is an opportunity that can make this young unknown artist a star. It is exploitation that puts her at risk, but it is a chance her talent deserves; a chance a girl from the Miami projects never gets to have. All she has to do is survive and make it work.
Romance can be harsh, it can be violent, it can be a crime. Violet has never had the chance of romance, nor has she experienced life and time is running out. As the world comes out of a major virus lockdown the media's resurgence for life sells her the need to venture out before it is too late. Her care-at-home medical team disagree but before she can be interned again for her own safety, she takes a cruise and vanishes without a trace. Now she is not only a danger to herself, but to others.
A storeroom gem safe on the cruise ship MS Aerwyna is open and a whistleblower reports it on a tip line. It is the third out-off-service ship, anchored in international waters off the Bahamas, to be refitted. If the heist involves each of the anchored three ships, it is well-organised crime with a purse large enough to kill for.
