However, Bosch wants to see the new files before he shares the old ones. Fair trade, right?
Ballard visits her boss, Rick Seals, and he tells her to set up a meeting with Bosch to exchange murder books but then serve him with a search warrant. However, Chandler gets wind of the warrant and warns Bosch, who turns up to the meeting with Ballard empty-handed. Bosch says he’ll work the case with or without her, so it makes more sense to team up.Ballard turns up atBosch’s apartmentwith the murder books, and they get to work.The new victim is linked to the sex trade in Filipino town, and the killer dumped the body out in the open, and the police have no fingerprints or DNA to link anyone to the crime. Bosch thinks the perpetrator could be a cop, but Ballard isn’t convinced. When Ballard leaves, she puts a tracker on Bosch’s car, so she can keep an eye on him if he chooses to go rogue. Bosch and Mo search the internet for sex sites for Filipino girls, and they hatch a plan to organize a fake date to snare the killer. However, Ballard turns up to put a stop to it, and insists there are legal ways to do it. However, Mo argues that the killer is very smart because he has an anonymous VPN browser, making it difficult to track him.
It’s my case and I will solve it.
Maddie takes a look at the case files to see if she can make some headway, as Bosch insists he made a promise to these girls to see the case through to the end.
