Trunk Music

In his first case back in Homicide, Bosch finds producer Tony Aliso dead in the trunk of his own Rolls-Royce near the Hollywood Bowl. The style of the hit, what the mob calls "trunk music," points to organized crime. The trail leads to Las Vegas, where a poker video shows Eleanor Wish, the ex-FBI agent Bosch once loved. Fingerprints lead to Luke Goshen, a mob boss's right-hand man, and the murder weapon turns up in his house. But Goshen is an undercover FBI agent, and Bosch becomes a suspect for planting evidence. The killing isn't the mob job it seemed. In the end, Bosch and Eleanor get married in Las Vegas.
