The Labor Day Challenge — Susan Page Davis

What begins as a friendly city rivalry with Bangor turns into a baffling case for the Portland Priority Unit. One of their colleagues turns up dead in what should have been a mock crime scene, and their suspects are legion. Eddie is in charge of the investigation, but he's more than a little distracted by Leeanne's erratic behavior. Is the wedding on or off? Jennifer's younger brother Travis shows up in Portland unexpectedly with some disturbing news, and Chief Browning is out of town every weekend, pursuing his dream of living in the north woods. Captain Harvey Larson holds everything together for the family and the Priority Unit, but the convoluted path to solving Detective Joey Bolduc's murder turns up evidence of other crimes.
