Farewell Performance

Farewell Performance

Two Cops Chasing a Rumor ... <br /> Sergeant Rick Valkonen, all but retired from the LAPD, is given <br />a final no-worries assignment to carry him into his new life as a <br />beach bum with a pension. Make sure the new chief of police’s <br />teenage twins, Justin and Justine, don’t get into trouble in big, bad <br />L.A. But Justine gives Valkonen the slip one night and that’s when <br />things start getting crazy. <br /> Detective Joan Duarte of the Santa Monica PD is fresh off a week’s <br />suspension from duty for assaulting a fellow officer. She coldcocked <br />the guy who’d been sexually harassing her. Returning to duty, <br />Duarte is told to go see an L.A. cop named Valkonen. <br /> Valkonen tells Duarte what happened to Justine after she ditched <br />him. She was invited to an underground rock concert with a great <br />new band. Only thing is, the band plans to commit suicide on stage — <br />and the audience is supposed to follow right along into the hereafter. <br /> Has to be a gag, doesn’t it? In SoCal, maybe not. When Valkonen <br />and Duarte start to investigate, they don’t like the vibe they get. <br /> The death concert begins to look more and more real. Problem is, <br />the two cops don’t know the band’s name, the date, or the venue <br />for the concert. <br /> On top of that, Duarte has a blowup with her teenage son, Sebi. <br />He disappears, but his girlfriend’s body washes up on a beach. <br />Did Sebi drown, too? Or is he headed for the farewell performance? <br /> Two cops who were supposed to debunk a hoax suddenly find <br />themselves working the most deadly case of their careers.
