وصف الناشر
"Joe Burgess is the most realistically drawn and memorable police detective I've encountered in years. This is as much a moral fable as it is a whodunit." ~Edward Morris, Verified Reviewer
On an icy February night, the body of Steven Pleasant, a prominent Portland, Maine physician, grows cold in his parked Mercedes. All signs point to a john killed by a disgruntled hooker: his pants are unzipped, wallet is gone, and the good doctor has a reputation for entertaining girls in his car.
But the deeper Detective Sergeant Joe Burgess digs, the muddier the case becomes. While juggling hookers, wives, ex-wives, fathers, stepfathers, dealers and doctors, a nurse on Pleasant's staff suggests another angle—disgruntled patients.
Now, ensconced in the darkness of a sleeping hospital, Burgess comes face-to-face with ghosts from his past and must decide what being a detective really means.
"If Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch lived in Maine, he'd be Joe Burgess."~Verified Reviewer
"It was the emotion that gripped me as a reader and as a person. Kate Flora has accomplished what very few authors are able to do, she made me believe." ~Michael S., Verified Reviewer

Great read!
Old school hard boiled detective fiction at its finest. If you like rough and gritty detectives who don’t know how to quit until the job is done you will love Joe Burgess. A story about a truly despicable man who got murdered in a most horrible way, Playing God takes us from the crime scene to the conclusion and everywhere in between. It’s not always pretty but it is a wonderful mystery to get caught up in.
