Featured review
There's no such thing as hooker-client confidentiality.
At a fancy hotel, a writer couldn't focus to his new novel because an out loud music came from the next room. Out of angry, he bumped into his neighbor room and he saw him tied on the bed with his skull fractured. Detective realized the hotel guest was killed by an ashtray and he didn't make any phone calls apart from a room service (hooker). Anyway Briscoe and Green soon understood this was a wrong pattern. Thanks to a manicure Chinese clerk they found the victim's car in a parking lot: he was a bounty hunter chasing a serial rapist. A black reporter received some calls from him and he hid something a little suspicious: he made an interview with the rapist at a steak house but it could have been a fake interview, because the same night he had sex with his mistress in Connecticut...
The defense attorney (Peter Jacobson) as usual tries to drive the attention of the jury over racial issues. His defendant didn't have to be competent, he had to be superior to deal with white colleagues (always the same story). But McCoy knows a thing or two about this. An episode not so easy to follow for one like me who doesn't speak English as his mother tongue.
