The Black Marble

The Story

Valnikov, a seemingly over-the-hill Los Angeles Police Department detective, and Natalie Zimmerman, an 18-year veteran of the force who is bucking for promotion and resents being teamed with Valnikov, join in an uneasy alliance to try to crack an extortion case involving the kidnapping of a valuable show dog.
