I don’t understand the “Mildred” thread.
Related to the runaway boy ?

Well written.

Supervisor gives out scut work .. CYA. Politics. Meantime .. Stu and Petra do real investigating ….

Billy has survived so far for 4 months in LA !
His cash stash is dwindling…. He dumpster dives @ restaurants.

Ex-husband (bad actor) notified of murder of his former wife. She was coke addict /him.

Oh my ! I thought Billy was a grown man ! He’s a 12y old runaway !

Gritty (causing me 2 skip some ). Nice characterization. Sparse, clear writing.
First in a series. Petra Connor, detective in LAPD. Artistic. Divorced, no kids.
