Bosch and Wish meet up again and find out the identities of two involved Vietnamese gangsters who are plotting the next bank heist. Rourke tips Bosch off about the IAD’s progress to tail the case to get him suspended Bosch interrogates the IAD about an unauthorized wiretap he found placed on his phone. He hypothesizes that Sharkey’s untimely death is the result of an insider on the force divulging details of the investigation to the criminals. Early on the fifth morning of the investigation, Bosch is summoned to a murder scene, finding it is Sharkey’s. Meanwhile, Sharkey runs into a stranger who seems extremely dangerous and picks him up.

They make a tentative truce, deciding to collaborate more.
That night, Wish appears at Bosch’s house to apologize for the antagonism. Bosch feuds with Rourke over which of the different leads they should follow on the case, and they clash with Wish over who should have the privilege of hypnotizing Sharkey to extract information.
