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.
