J.D. Rhoades is a North Carolina-based crime fiction writer and practicing attorney.

The first book, The Devil’s Right Hand, came out in 2005 and established Rhoades as a writer who could deliver fast action and real emotional weight in equal measure.

Beyond the Keller books, Rhoades has written historical crime fiction set in 1870s San Francisco, standalone thrillers, and entries in the collaborative Linger supernatural series. His legal background shows in the authenticity of his courtroom and law enforcement scenes, and his prose stays lean and direct across all his work.
