 The Dog You Feed June 25 2021

     Bosch and Edgar follow a lead to the famed Magic Castle.  But before that, Bosch tells Jerry he can smell the liquor coming out of his pores.  Not an original quip but direct and to the point.  They visit the apartment building management again.  The management prides themselves on not accepting too much interaction with law enforcement.  This keeps the tenants safer, they argue.  Bosh points out that it gives them an excuse to kick low-paying renters out.  The investigation of the molotov cocktail fire in the building is ongoing.  The deaths are treated as felonies.

     The building fire investigation leads them to the theory that the fire starters stole a car that was valeted.  A local parolee lent the car to a couple of “Los Pollos homies” named Little Trey-Trey and Zorro.  Bosch and Jerry need to find out the real names of these two responsible for five felony murders.  Their names are actually Emanuel Trejo and Pedro Alvarez and they are esteemed members of the Los Pollos 13.  They are a couple of foot soldiers whose fingerprints were at the scene.  When the team and officers crash down on them, they take them in but Jerry engages in a war of words with Little Trey Trey.  Things get physical and it was stated by one of the squad members to Bosch that “your partner is out of control.”  This is true because Jerry is not up on his game??  Drinking and not sleeping!!

     Lieutenant Billets ruffles some feathers because sent a complaint up through the the chain of command.  She has received some harassment from two of the male cops and there has been arguing about showing up in court even on days off.  Attorney Honey Chandler is heading to court to represent a business man who doesn’t want any jail time.  Maddie has been interning at Chandler’s office.  5* (I liked this episode)
