Hokkani Boro

By: TJ Buck

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Truth can be stolen.
Memory can be rewritten.
And belief can be weaponized.
When Loli Rosalie, a young woman from an insular Afro-Romani community in rural Louisiana, publicly challenges a powerful figure inside her own world, she disappears without a trace. No ransom. No witnesses. Only silence, and a growing fear speaking out has made her vanish.
FBI agent Reggie Arnold is drawn into the search alongside investigator Jules Benoit, whose distant family ties give him limited access to a community that has survived for generations by keeping outsiders at arm’s length. What they uncover is not a cult, but something far more dangerous: a charismatic man reshaping history, ritual, and grief into a tool for control.
As myths are distorted and loyalties fracture, Reggie and Jules confront a crime that cannot be solved by evidence alone. Because the real damage isn’t just physical, it’s cultural. And once memory is altered, the truth becomes harder to recover than a missing person.
Set against the bayous and back roads of southern Louisiana, Hokkani Boro (The Great Trick) is a dark crime novel about identity, manipulation, and the cost of allowing anyone to decide which stories deserve to survive.
A Reggie Arnold novel.
