I watched the first episode of Bosch Legacy on FreeVee last night. Like the Bosch TV series, each season loosely follows one of the Connelly Bosch novels. Season 1of Bosch Legacy is based on the novel "The Wrong Side of Goodbye", which is about an aging, dying aviation billionaire who hires Bosch to find the young Mexican girl he impregnated, and then broke up with, as an 18 year old USC freshman in 1952. His motivation is that he has never married and he would like to see if the Mexican girl and his child are still alive and are potential heirs of his vast fortune. As the reader/viewer suspects, some mysteries soon prove to be best left unsolved. In addition to other would be heirs of the billionaire's fortune trying to sabotage Bosch's investigation, the investigation soon becomes intensely personal for Bosch, for reasons I will not disclose. It is probably the best Bosch novel written in the last 10 years, so they chose wisely on the source material. William Devane is cast as the aging billionaire.
Meanwhile, a parallel plot follows the misadventures and travails of Bosch's very hot daughter Maddie, who is now a rookie officer, aka "boot", with the LA police department. Maddie is partnered with her new training officer, a foul mouthed, no nonsense hispanic lesbian named Vasquez who brooks no mistakes from her trainee, telling her that if she messes up, "you get the fuck out of my car." Needless to say, Maddie is a rookie, so you know she is going to make mistakes, and she does. In doing so, she shows that the apple has not fallen too far from her father's tree. And she also hears about it from Vazquez in a crude, blunt manner.
