The Waiting features Renée Ballard and the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit as they discover a DNA link to a serial killer known as the Pillowcase Rapist. However, when Ballard and her team close in on their suspect, they confront a perplexing web of secrets and legal obstacles.

Simultaneously, Ballard's badge, gun, and ID are stolen—a theft she can't report without giving her adversaries in the department the leverage they need to jeopardise her career. In need of external assistance, Ballard seeks out Harry Bosch.

In addition, Ballard takes on Patrol Officer Maddie Bosch, Harry's daughter, as a new volunteer. Yet, she quickly realises that Maddie has her own reasons for wanting access to the city's repository of unresolved cases.

Ballard is resolved to focus on justice, but this cold case opens a Pandora's box...
