“How old are you, Detective Bosch?” Hovan
asked. “Over sixty-five, I’m guessing?”
“Yes,” Bosch said.
Hovan gestured as if presenting Bosch to the
others at the table.
“We take Detective Bosch, make him look a
little older, a little more worn, and a little more hungry. We give him a new
ID and Medicare card. We change his clothes, take away his razor and soap for a
few days. What we do is follow the clinic’s van and arrest a few of the shills
at a pharmacy, make it look like a random enforcement operation. Jerry and I
take care of that. Then, when the capper gets back to the clinic and is a few
bodies short and looking at being a few thousand pills short by the end of the
month, in walks the perfect recruit.” (ibid, pp. 151-152)
when you need action, put two (or more than
two) things together, around the same time (2017-11-12 11:14 AM)
