Alicia Rodriguez

“I suppose that some people might find it strange that I can tell the difference between a real Rolex and a fake one just by looking at it, but to me, it's like reading someone's soul.”

Alicia Rodriguez was born and raised in Venezuela, where she learned to speak three different languages fluently and developed a keen sense of observation. She moved to Los Angeles as a teenager, where she discovered her passion for detective work after uncovering a series of small-scale thefts that had gone unnoticed by the authorities. Alicia worked her way up from a beat cop to a seasoned detective, with an impressive record of solving some of the city's most high-profile cases. She is known for her sharp wit, no-nonsense attitude, and a knack for reading people that often takes her colleagues by surprise.

What drew you to the field of detective work?

I've always been fascinated by human behavior, and I think that's what makes me a good detective. I love piecing together clues and figuring out what makes people tick. Plus, there's something deeply satisfying about bringing justice to those who've been wronged.

What do you do to unwind after a particularly grueling case?

I have a soft spot for good food and great wine. There's this little restaurant in Venice that I love to go to after a long day of work. They have the most amazing seafood linguine and a fantastic selection of wines. I go there to relax and recharge before diving headfirst into the next case.
