Agent Sylvia Reece arrives at the station at Bosch's summons, just before Alicia reveals the name of the murderer: Cliff Maxwell, Reece's partner. Reece is horrified. At the instruction of the LAPD, Alicia phones Cliff and tells her to meet him at her apartment downtown. He doesn't show, and the cops suspect that he might have sniffed out the surveillance. Bosch notes that the apartment building is right across the street from the Ace Hotel, where Alicia once met her lover for a tryst. They go in and find that sure enough, Cliff has checked into room 703.

Eventually Bosch finds Roy, who tells him that Daisy and her boyfriend Alex Sands were running a pretty scuzzy "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badger_game badger game]]" in which underage Daisy would lure men to hotels, only for Alex to jump out of the closet with a camera and rob the men of their cash and credit cards, with the men being in no position to report the losses because they'd have to admit to being solicited for underage sex.
