A big city homicide detective from the north becomes a police chief of a small southern town.
Is the premises is too overdone in mysteries?
Also, most small towns have contracts with county or state to handle large/complicated cases. Would it realistic if the chief decided to refuse help because, as the new chief, he has plenty of experience?
In my novel, it's his experience that prompted the town board to hire him above the other candidates. They were sick of the way the state shuts out the local PD and thinks they're idiots.
Thanks and I hope I put this in the right spot.
