The Etienne Arceneaux Mystery Series
Gritty. Suspenseful.
Etienne “Tee” Arceneaux knows the Louisiana marsh like the lines in his weathered palm. As a Wildlife & Fisheries agent, he was trained to track hunters and shrimpers, not traffickers and killers. But when the disappearance of a childhood friend leads to a body in the bayou, Tee stumbles into a violent undercurrent of corruption, smuggling, and exploitation running through the bayou like a dark tide.

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 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.
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.

Some secrets the bayou doesn’t keep.
When Game Warden Etienne “Tee” Arceneaux’s oldest friend goes missing, all signs point to a tragic accident. But the boat turns up empty, and Tee discovers a body tied like bait. What begins as a quiet investigation in the marshlands of southern Louisiana quickly unravels into something far more sinister. The deeper Tee looks, the more he realizes that the people responsible may wear badges of their own.
Suspended from duty and armed only with his instincts, Tee crosses paths with Nick Santoro, a disgraced DEA agent pushed south after a failed operation in New York. Nick is chasing the same shadowy network Tee has stumbled into. Offshore platforms, crew boats, and a corrupted sheriff’s department form a trafficking operation that thrives in the hidden corners of the Louisiana marsh.
As they follow a trail through bait shops, burned safehouses, and abandoned oil infrastructure, Tee and Santoro find evidence of organized human trafficking. Local law enforcement has either ignored this evidence or helped conceal it. With enemies closing in and allies in short supply, the two men must learn to trust each other before the truth is buried for good.
Low Tide is the second novel in the Etienne Arceneaux Mystery series, a gritty Southern noir filled with quiet tension, sudden violence, and the haunting beauty of the bayou. When the tide falls, secrets rise.
