About this listen

In the Louisiana marsh, the tide always brings something back. Sometimes it’s a body. Sometimes it’s the past.

Etienne “Tee” Arceneaux, a Louisiana game warden and lifelong son of the bayou, is used to quiet patrols, half-full ice chests, and the occasional drunk fisherman. But when he finds an abandoned skiff stuck on an oyster bed—gear intact, no sign of struggle—something feels wrong. Then he realizes it belonged to Ben, a childhood friend Tee hasn’t seen in years. A good fisherman. A man who wouldn’t just disappear.

As Tee begins to ask questions, the answers grow darker: fishermen going missing, shrimpers whispering about boats running at night, and bodies turning up in pieces—picked apart by more than crabs. With no backup and no one he fully trusts, Tee starts digging where the marsh doesn’t want to give anything up. But in these waters, secrets don’t stay buried. Not for long.

Falling Tide is the first novel in the Etienne Arceneaux Mystery series—a gritty Southern thriller steeped in atmosphere, loyalty, and slow-burning suspense.
