About This Book

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.
