Maddie Bosch confronts a cycle of violent armed robberies which suggests an ominous conspiracy taking shape in Los Angeles.

Bosch: Legacy season 3: Bosch under scrutiny
The season premiere is quick to let viewers know that Maddie Bosch never revealed a collect call she made to Preston Borders, who accused her father, Harry Bosch, of murdering Kurt Dockweiler. This news places her in a vulnerable situation, with detectives Jimmy Robertson and Agent Lopez discreetly investigating Bosch's potential role.
Although Robertson himself is unsure of Bosch's innocence, the case remains unofficial, with undercover questioning being conducted. Bosch, now a private investigator, gets important information from Curtis Dignan, an ex-con with connections to Wasco State Prison, where Borders and Dockweiler were both imprisoned.
Dignan's tip has the potential to exonerate Bosch, but it also puts him further into a sinister game of lies and conspiracy.
Bosch: Legacy season 3: Honey Chandler's political ambitions
In the meantime, high-profile lawyer Honey Chandler is gaining ground in her bid for District Attorney. However, her political ambitions take a sinister turn when Frank Sheehan, a known but unnerving presence, reappears at her campaign headquarters, posing as a volunteer. Tech specialist Maurice 'Mo' Bassi discovers that Sheehan has been stalking her at public events, and there are serious grounds for concern.
Fearing danger, Chandler hires Bosch for security. His encounter with Sheehan at the latter's office further strengthens his belief that Sheehan is engaged in something much more sinister than meets the eye.
Bosch: Legacy season 3: Maddie's new assignment
Amid the drama, Rookie LAPD cop Maddie takes on a string of violent follow-home robberies with her new partner, Reina Vasquez. A disturbing attack in the upscale neighborhood appears to have been committed by an organized group targeting financially secure residents. It introduces another set of complications for an already tension-filled episode.
A deadly confrontation – Bosch vs. Sheehan
As tensions rise, Bosch is assigned to provide security at Chandler's celebrity-studded charity gala. With minimal law enforcement backup and increasing suspicions regarding Sheehan's intentions, veteran officers Crate and Barrel (Troy Evans and Gregory Scott Cummins) stake out his home.
When they break in after getting no answer, they find that Sheehan has disappeared, leaving behind ominous indications of an impending attack. During the event, a shootout breaks out, causing widespread panic, but it turns out to be a distraction.
The purpose was to allow Sheehan to sneak up on Chandler undetected. Bosch quickly jumps into action, chasing after Sheehan in a nail-biting pursuit. In the final confrontation, Bosch threatens to have Sheehan surrender, but the scene turns tragic as Sheehan kills himself just as Maddie and Vasquez arrive at the scene.
