Detective Joe Burgess Races Against Time in Those Who Choose Evil, a Joe Burgess Murder Mystery Thriller from Kate Flora
-Portland, Maine-
Detective Joe Burgess ends many nights with a quiet ritual-a visit to the park where the ocean breeze blends with memories of past cases. But tonight, something feels off. When his truck refuses to respond to his steering, and a faint cry drifts through the darkness, instinct takes over.
The interruption of his quiet reflection annoys Burgess, but he's a seasoned detective and knows better than to ignore his instincts. What he finds is every cop's nightmare: a young woman, naked, bruised, and barely alive. Her whispered plea-Don't let them take me back-chills Burgess to his core.
As medical help arrives and the investigation begins, Burgess realizes he's not just facing a brutal assault. He's dealing with something darker, something evil that preys on the vulnerable-and isn't done yet.
Kate Flora does what all the great writers do: she takes you inside unfamiliar territory and makes you feel right at home; you climb in and are along for the whole ride. Michael Connelly
Joe Burgess, the 'meanest cop is Portland.' He's a wonderfully wrought character, capable of intense compassion as well as righteous rage. D. C. Brod
Publisher's Note: In Those Who Choose Evil, award-winning author Kate Flora once again delivers a gripping Joe Burgess mystery that doesn't shy away from the darker corners of human behavior. With keen insight and emotional depth, Flora brings to life a harrowing case that challenges Burgess's instincts-and his resolve.
Includes vulgar language and sexual content consistent with criminals and those who investigate their crimes.
