Politics of Justice #8: Behind Ransomed | Introduction

In this episode of Politics of Justice, I talk about the inspiration behind Ransomed and how the justice system can’t answer every question or right every wrong. How a judge went to prison…but was his imprisonment a technicality?

Ransomed is currently available on all platforms and in audiobook. This series uses the book as a springboard to talk about justice, race, family, and the systems that fail us—and the ones we fight to change.

About Politics of Justice: Politics of Justice is a long-form video series where I revisit my novels and unpack the personal history, legal realities, and systemic issues woven into the fiction. These conversations explore justice, race, family, power, and the cost of survival—on the page and in real life.
