โฆ Synopsis
Angels Flight (1999)
When the body of high profile
black lawyer Howard Elias is found inside one of the cars on Angels
Flight, a cable railway in downtown Los Angeles, there's not a detective
in the city who wants to touch
the case. For Elias
specialized in lawsuits alleging police brutality, racism, and
corruption, and every LAPD cop is a possible suspect in his killing.
Detective
Harry Bosch is put in
charge. Elias's murder
occurred on the eve of a major trial: on behalf of black client, Michael
Harris, Elias was to bring a civil case against the LAPD for violent
interrogation tactics that had
caused his client the
partial loss of his hearing. Harris had been acquitted of the rape and
murder of a twelve-year-old girl, but many, including Bosch, believe him
guilty. Elias had let it
be known that the trial
would serve a dual purpose to target and bring down the guilty cops
and to expose the real murderer of the little girl. Post Rodney King,
the 1992 riots, and the
trial of O.J. Simpson, the
City of Angels is living on its nerves. To discover the truth Harry
must dig deep in his own backyard except that it's a minefield of
suspicion and hate that
could detonate in his face.
And as if he didn't have enough on his mind, his happiness with
Eleanor Wish looks to be short-lived. Five cards on the felt are
pulling her back to a
place where Harry cannot
follow, back to herself.
