The Sound Between Storms

By: TJ Buck

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A city built on memory.
A killer exploiting what it wants to forget.
When a young woman is found murdered in Congo Square, her body staged with symbols meant to provoke fear rather than faith, FBI Special Agent Reggie Arnold is called back to New Orleans, a city that knows how to bury its sins beneath celebration and silence.
As the investigation unfolds, Reggie joins forces with State Police detective Jacques Boudreaux and private investigator Jules Benoit, uncovering a series of killings deliberately designed to mimic ritual while desecrating the very traditions they pretend to invoke. Each murder is staged not to honor belief, but to weaponize it, to frighten communities into surrendering ground, history, and truth.
The deeper they dig, the clearer the pattern becomes. These deaths are not random. They are messages, warnings tied to land, power, and the quiet machinery of corruption reshaping the city from the inside out.
Set against the rhythms, ghosts, and contested history of New Orleans, The Sound Between Storms is a dark crime novel about erasure, exploitation, and what happens when fear is used as a development strategy.
Some storms arrive with noise.
Others leave destruction in the sound between them.
A Reggie Arnold novel.
