The six-hour limited series from The Wire team chronicles the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Departments Gun Trace Task Force and the corruption and moral collapse that befell an American city in which the policies of drug prohibition and mass arrest were championed at the expense of actual police work.
A police procedural based on Michael Connelly's novels about Harry Bosch, a veteran police homicide detective with the Los Angeles Police Department.

Bosch has been at the center of or featured in 20 novels by Connelly, starting with the 1992 The Black Echo and most recently, last fall's The Black Box.

James McNulty has been assigned to lead a joint homicide and narcotics team, in order to bring down drug kingpin Avon Barksdale.
