Lucinda has been serving an eleven-year sentence for murdering her husband, a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy. Mickey, touched by her unwavering claims of innocence, decides to take a chance.

As he examines the details, inconsistencies and red flags emerge. The initial investigation by the Sheriff’s department appears rushed, with a focus on swift closure rather than uncovering the truth.

Powerful forces within the Sheriff’s department are determined to keep the case buried, and Bosch and Mickey find themselves in the crosshairs.
