Bad Night Is Falling

facing off with corrupt police and gang members—and indicted for murder.
Heat is building in the Rancho Tajuata Housing Projects—and not just because it's summer in L.A. When a
Mexican family is killed by a firebombing, local rage threatens to grow out of control. The pressure is on to
solve this case quickly to help deescalate the tense situation.
At the request of the tenant's security force, P.I. Ivan Monk is called in to find the killer. To track the murderer
down, Monk must delve into a tangled history leading all the way back to the 1965 Watts riots—a hunt that
reveals layers of buried racism and corruption. Monk sorts through the complexities of gang conflicts and
governmental kickbacks, only to find himself at odds with the police, disillusioned by his mentor and, after a
fierce struggle with some gang members, under indictment for murder. Monk must race to clear his name before
time runs out, and a bad night falls on the Rancho Tajuata Projects, this time for good . . .
