Bosch Season 5: Episode Three 2019

     Lieutenant Billets is forced to deal with two Detectives with the nicknames Crate and Barrel.  She will need to sift through the circumstances of what happened in an accident outside a pharmacy crime scene.  Detective Bosch has a copy of all the phone calls from prison concerning his case and he turns them over to attorney Honey Chandler.  The calls reveal that Preston Borders has a wife.  Her name is Rita Tedesco and they have been married 16 years.  She frequently visits him in prison and she is also at the court house.  Chandler and Bosch believe that Rita has been a go between for Borders with is attorney to set up a scheme to set up a new hearing. 
     An added twist in this episode is that Chief Irving is considering running for Mayor.  The statistics show that he may be able to win the election.  Bosch is also investigating the angle of fake prescriptions and the sale of oxytocin as a reason for the pharmacy crime.  His cover is that he needs the oxy for an injury to his knee when he was in the military.  Edgar becomes worried when Bosch boards a plane with other oxy patients.  5* (I really like this series)
