“Bosch was immensely glad that after his resignation he was free from participation in this race, from official duties, from continuous stress... At the same time, he understood that he was rejoicing in vain.” Because his half-brother, defense lawyer Mickey Holler (yes, the one from “Lincoln for Lawyer”), is calling for help: his client, a former gang member who has taken the path to reform, is suspected of a brutal murder. Mickey is sure that his client was framed, but this still needs to be proven. Harry is hesitant, because going over to the defense in the eyes of his colleagues in the homicide department could undo all the good he has done in thirty years of police work. Nevertheless, professional interest outweighs. However, during the investigation, Bosch begins to realize that he himself has become the target of surveillance and, perhaps, a killer is on his heels.
