The LAPD kicks into high gear in search for killer Raynard Waits. Bosch turns his attention back to trying to unravel the mystery of what happened to Arthur Delacroix, but Waits has Bosch in his sights and begins a bloody game of cat and mouse with him.

Bosch's lieutenant and confidante Grace Billets convinces him to take advantage of the Christmas holiday to visit his daughter Maddie Buyt. When he returns to Los Angeles, Bosch immediately arrives to a maelstrom. Brasher questions Johnny Stokes, a former friend of Arthur Delacroix, but what had seemed like a simple witness questioning turns into a shooting.
