The Hand of God
Fans of Se7en and Red Dragon — this is your next obsession.
Detective Bennett Jenkins had seen violence before.
But this was something else.
She sat propped against scorched bricks. Burned. Cleansed—the fire still smoldered in the morning light.
Above her body, a biblical verse stared back at him from the soot.
Not a clue. A judgment.
Jenkins told himself it was just another psychopath—another broken mind hiding behind scripture and fear.
He was wrong.
He was wrong about everything.
This was only the beginning.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had the great privilege to read a beta copy of The Hand of God. J.B. Arnold successfully weaves a great tale through dual timelines and red herrings as Detectives Jenkins and Barrientos attempt to unravel the mystery of The Hand of God Killer. The body count is rising, all victims are female, and all are connected to one man, David Miller. Who is The Hand and why is he focused on David? You will need to read it to find out. I thoroughly enjoy stories that follow the trail of a serial killer and the detectives that piece the puzzle together to follow that trail. This story did not disappoint. It’s twisted in all the best ways. Check it out for yourself. Release date: 11/14/25

I am not going to like when I first saw the covers for this book I thought it was going to be religious and I wasn't here for it. However, after reading this novel for the Indie Author Melee and I was very pleasently surprised. First of all, the writing is superb. I was drawn in right away and didn't want to put it down. The characters were dynamic and the story was creepy and interesting. The novel read a bit like an Alex Cross/James Patterson thriller. I will definitely continue to read more from this series as the author writes them and check out others J. B. Arnold has written.
Such a great read.
