Kate's Books

		"I enjoyed CHOSEN FOR DEATH immensely. Kate Flora is a fine new talent." --- Barbara D'Amato, author of the Cat Marsala series. First in the Thea Kozak series, CHOSEN FOR DEATH is a gritty and powerful first novel about love and loss, with a tough yet vulnerable heroine tailor-made for the nineties.
		"A gripping story about people you believe in and care about. The conclusion left me shaken, but satisfied in the truth of it." --- Anne Perry Death in a Funhouse Mirror is the second title in Kate Flora's Thea Kozak series. Thea Kozak is a savvy young businesswoman whose keen insights - and hard-won wisdom - help her penetrate the darkest secrets of the human heart.
		Thea Kozak is smart, funny, and a very '90s kind of woman - someone who is carving out a lucrative career for herself while juggling all the stresses of modern life. On top of that, she's trying to maintain a long-distance relationship with Andre, the devilishly handsome Maine state trooper she met while trying to solve her sister's murder. She's got a pretty full life. And it's about to get a whole lot more complicated.
		"Thea Kozak is a terrific, in-your-face, stand-up gal. Stephanie Plum and Thea Kozak would have a lot to say to each other."—Janet Evanovich Assisted by an endearing 11-year-old who calls herself "The Spy," and a wise pathologist and his wife who try to help her keep some balance in her life, Thea makes some surprising discoveries, both good and bad, about herself and the people around her as she uncovers the reasons for death in paradise.
		In "An Educated Death, the fourth Thea Kozak novel, Thea faces what may be her most tragic mystery yet, which begins when a young girl drowns at a private New England high school. The death rocks the quiet world of privileged academia, and Thea is called in to provide counseling for the students and faculty, and to work on a much needed evaluation of the school's safety procedures.
		Thea is minutes away from finally marrying her long-time love Andre Lemieux – the state trooper who helped her discover the truth about her sister’s death, and the one person Thea can rely on to be strong for her. But Thea is left standing at the altar, and brought horrible news of Andre’s capture by forces unknown. The last place he was seen was near a small town in Maine that is a hotbed of right-wing conspiracy theorists … and lots of people with twitchy trigger fingers.
		The first in the new Joe Burgess series. "At the heart of this compelling police procedural is Joe Burgess, the 'meanest cop in Portland.' He's a wonderfully wrought character, capable of intense compassion as well as righteous rage. And his is the perfect perspective to lead us through this intricate tale of arrogance, heartbreak and revenge. Outstanding." --- D.C. Brod, author of Heartstone.
