Off the Record (Rhodes to Justice Book 1)

Olivia Rhodes gives the voiceless a voice.

Her podcast, Rhodes to Justice, speaks for the people her city would rather forget — the families pushed off blocks they’ve lived on for generations, and the women who turn up dead behind condemned buildings, where the police don’t look twice and the headlines never come. So when another young Black woman is found behind the Oakland Apartments, Olivia does what she always does: she starts asking questions.

Then a listener messages her. He knows things about the victim that were never released.

He also knows how Olivia takes her late-night showers.

He isn’t a source. He’s the one she’s hunting, but he chose her. He knows her routines, her past, the careful rules she lives by to stay safe. To the police, he’s a ghost they can’t name. To Olivia, he’s the only voice that’s ever found her in the dark.

She built a platform so no one would disappear unheard. Now she’s being listened to — and he’s been there longer than she knows.

Olivia thought she was chasing a killer.

She was being introduced.
