Connelly teams up a demoted female LA police officer with Bosch. Together they tackle a cold case by going through the files to find new information on the death of a youngster living on the streets doing drugs and selling herself. The going is slow and to show the passing of time, Connelly has both Ballard and Bosch on separate shift work schedules. Each are called out to attend to various other misdemeanors, all described in detail in alternating chapters. There seems to be a hint that their investigation into their "hobby" cold case points to the involvement of a religious cult out to save the downtrodden, but clues always seem to lead to a dead end. Will the pastor make a misstep during the investigation so that, instead of following a cold case, the two detectives can follow a "hot case" in order to nail the murderer involved in their cold case? IMO, reading this storyline is like looking at a TV show that follows police officers during their time on and off work - not that interesting.
