    || EPISODE ONE: Parts 1 - 10 || This is a story about the shadows beneath the brightest days, a tale where paradise is edged with danger, and every rescue comes with a price. Set in 1929, The Rest Is Silence follows a struggling writer and former waterman, Horatio "Ray" O'Neill, bound by duty and fate to Jimmy Karlsen, heir to a crumbling commercial empire. What begins as an act of lifesaving draws Ray into a web of family secrets, betrayal, and moral ambiguity, where privilege, ambition, and the past threaten to drown them both. Inspired by the spirit of noir crime fiction and the timeless echoes of Hamlet, this novel explores questions of loyalty, identity, and the limits of what any of us can save. || This book (Parts 1 to 54 + Epilogue) is being posted on the author's blog (link in profile). ||

    (Prequel to Silenced Fire) "Whatever happens, we'll always be brothers" Howard whispered this to Forrest during their mother's funeral and Forrest repeated it back. First their baby sister, then their dad and now their mom. The Spanish flu has dwindled the Bondurant family down to the three sons, Howard, Forrest and Jack. With Howard set to go back to the army as soon as the funeral is over, this leaves Forrest to look after nine year old Jack by himself. "Do you have to leave?" Forrest asked, looking up at his big brother with pleading eyes. Howard sighed, staring at the ground. "I don't want to.." Howard murmured, wrapping his arms around Forrest "but I don't have a choice". Forrest buried his face in his brother's bicep to hide the tears that were staining his cheeks, he just lost his mother and now he feels like he's losing his big brother. "Shh.." Howard soothed, rubbing Forrest' back. It pained him to see his baby brother like this but all Howard felt he had to rely on besides his brothers was the fact that they're Bondurants, Bondurants don't lay down for nobody.

    "New Orleans in 1926 was a place where music welled up from every side street, storefront, park bench, and club. Trumpets quivered, trombones blurted, accordions purred, and bass drums thumped until they were tight enough to burst open and wreck the parade line. It was a place where people went to get loose-lipped on bourbon and sweet and heavy bread pudding, and where dreams went to either take root in that fertile Mississippi River delta or shrivel up like a head hung in some old vodou home. It was a place of magic, sensuality, and risk, where the surface was just as vibrant as the underworld..."
