Kate Clark Flora

Attorney Kate Clark 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’ acts of discrimination aroused her curiosity about human behavior. Her true crime, Finding Amy, co-written with Portland, Maine Deputy Chief Joseph Loughlin, was an Edgar finalist. Death Dealer was an Anthony and Agatha finalist and won the Public Safety Writers Association 2015 award for nonfiction. The gritty police procedurals in her star-reviewed Joe Burgess series have twice won the Maine Literary Award for Crime Fiction. Her books also include seven Thea Kozak mysteries. Flora has also published 17 crime stories and was a Derringer finalist. Her latest work, as co-writer, is retired Maine game warden Roger Guay’s memoir of hunters, poachers, search and rescue, and cadaver dogs: A Good Man with a Dog: A Game Warden’s 25 years in the Maine Woods
