The Mystery of the Golden Cat by Tam May

Will a thief ruin Labor Day for the whole town of Arrojo?

For Adele Gossling, Labor Day is about giving voice to progressive reforms such as the eight-hour work day and minimum wage for women. But for business owners in Arrojo, California, Labor Day is about making money. City slickers flock to the country seeking holiday deals they can't get in San Francisco or Sacramento. What better way to celebrate than with bargains and the community picnic?

What they don't know is there's a thief in town. He's already succeeded in getting away with burglarizing business owners in neighboring cities, and the county police can't seem to get their hands on him.

Who is stealing gold trinkets from the shops in Arrojo, California? Is it the dandified Mr. Lyman? The town's junk collector and pariah, Zephyr Brown? or is it someone or something beyond their wildest imagination?
