“Bosch was immensely pleased that after his resignation he was free from participation in this race, from official duties, from continuous tension ... At the same time, he understood that he was in vain rejoicing.” Because his half-brother defense attorney Mickey Holler (yes, the same one from Lincoln for Lawyer) is crying out for help: his client, a former gang member who has taken the path of correction, is suspected of a brutal murder. Mickey is sure that his client was framed, but this still needs to be proven. Harry hesitates as turning to the side of the defense in the eyes of his colleagues in the homicide department can negate all the good that he has done in thirty years of police work. However, professional interest outweighs. However, during the investigation, Bosch begins to understand that he himself was the object of surveillance and, possibly, the killer is on his heels.
