Final Show

When Lucy takes a job as a social media consultant for the once-legendary rock band Crrowl, she knows there’ll be plenty of stress on the road, sleep deprivation, and controlled chaos. What she doesn’t expect is a band that harbours dark secrets. Crrowl was once the loudest, wildest, most dangerous rock band in Europe and had massive hits. But Crrowl’s mythic status isn’t based solely on music. Several band members died young and under peculiar circumstances that have never fully been explained. Were the mysterious deaths of their charismatic frontman Danny Krohl and acclaimed guitarist Ross Behne really accidents?

Not long after Lucy comes on board, another member of the band is found dead in his hotel room. Officially: an accident during a game of Russian roulette. Unofficially: murder. Lucy begins to ask questions, and as the musicians take to the stage night after night, it becomes increasingly clear that when it comes to Crrowl, nobody dies by chance.

»A wild story with lots of movement and drive and no shortage of surprises. Enjoyment on a huge scale.« Ulrich Noller, WDR 1 on The Curve
