Synopsis

LAPD Detective Harry Bosch finds himself at a professional crossroads, placed on involuntary stress leave after a violent outburst against his superior. With his career hanging by a thread and his personal life in disarray, Bosch embarks on a deeply personal and unauthorized investigation: the cold case murder of his own mother, Marjorie Lowe, a prostitute whose life was brutally cut short when Harry was a child. Decades have passed, yet the unresolved trauma haunts him. As he delves into the past, peeling back layers of old evidence, faded memories, and forgotten connections, Bosch uncovers a labyrinth of corruption, hidden agendas, and powerful figures who would prefer the truth remain buried. This relentless pursuit of justice for his mother forces him to confront not only the dark underbelly of Los Angeles but also the profound impact of his origins on his own identity and relentless drive. "The Last Coyote" is a raw, emotional journey into the heart of a detective’s most personal case, where finding the killer is as much about understanding himself as it is about solving a crime.
