The Angel of Knowlton Park (A Joe Burgess Mystery, Book 2)
Táto e‑kniha
Portland, Maine, homicide detective Joe Burgess needs a vacation. But there's a dead child in Knowlton Park.
Rolling up on the scene with a canoe on the roof and fishing poles flapping, Burgess finds little Timmy Watts, viciously stabbed, and carefully wrapped in a new blue blanket.
Timmy's parents are life-long crooks, his brothers deal drugs and his sister turns tricks. The only one who seems to care is Timmy's hearing-impaired sister, Iris. But she's keeping her secrets.
Then Iris disappears, and Burgess is battling against time to keep more children from dying.
"The story ramps up on the first page and does not let down until the short post climax." ~Verified Reviewer
"This is another amazing book from a skilled author of police procedurals with much more human understanding than the genre usually offers." ~Verified Reviewer

O autorovi
Kate Flora’s fascination with people’s criminal tendencies began in the Maine attorney general’s office. Deadbeat dads, people who hurt their kids, and employers’ discrimination aroused her curiosity about human behavior. The author of nineteen books and more than twenty short stories, Flora’s been a finalist for the Edgar, Agatha, Anthony, and Derringer awards. She won the Public Safety Writers Association award for nonfiction and twice won the Maine Literary Award for crime fiction. Her latest fiction is Schooled in Death, her 9th Thea Kozak mystery. Her latest nonfiction is Shots Fired: The misconceptions, misunderstandings, and myths about police shootings with retired Portland Assistant Chief Joseph K. Loughlin. Flora divides her time between Massachusetts and Maine, and between cooking and gardening and obsessive writing.
