While we're on the subject of local color, I'd like to recomend a book. If you have any interest in better understanding the environment in which Cape Cod police work, read the book Midnights: A Year With the Wellfleet Police.
It's a little bit dated now (events depicted took place during the seventies) but still very true. It more accurately reflects my sense of Cape Cod that was formed in childhood than the Cape Cod of today does. I still think of Cape Cod of being a Very Small Place, where everyone knew your business and we all lived in each other's hip pockets. Which is still true, but not the way it was even twenty years ago.
The book is also very funny, especially if you know the region at all.
