Farewell Performance by Joseph Flynn is a non-series title, published by Flynn's own "Stray Dog Press". However, although I haven't read this one (I haven't noticed it on sale before), I have read a number of Flynn's other titles, both conventionally published and self-published, and have enjoyed them. So, I'm going ahead and posting this one...
It's on sale via US Kindle countdown, at $1.99 for about 5 1/4 more days, before going up to $2.99.

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