What City of Lies is

Bullet casings glint under flickering streetlights at 3 a.m. A rogue LAPD detective and a disgraced journalist dig into two unsolved rap murders, their flashlights cutting through decades of sealed files. Brad Furman’s procedural drags the city’s rot into daylight, one leaked memo at a time.
