The Red Line Slayings

The Red Line Slayings Washington, D.C. is being hunted. A serial killer is targeting Black women near Metro stations along the Red Line, leaving behind cryptic messages that hint at a twisted historical agenda. But while the bodies pile up, the media barely covers the case, and the department drags its feet—until Detective Rochelle Banks forces them to pay attention. Determined, relentless, and unwilling to let these women be forgotten, Rochelle risks everything to uncover the truth. But as she and her partner, Sean Rourke, dig deeper, they realize the killings aren't just random acts of violence—they're part of something bigger. Each crime scene is connected to D.C.'s redlining past, and the killer isn't just taking lives—he's making a statement. When the investigation leads them to a former officer turned vigilante, Rochelle thinks she's found her man. But the deeper she goes, the more she realizes he isn't working alone. As she races against time to stop another murder, she faces corruption, political cover-ups, and a system built to erase the very victims she's fighting for. And when the killer turns his sights on her, Rochelle must decide just how far she's willing to go for justice. Because in a city built on old boundaries, some lines were never meant to be crossed.
