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.","brand":"Epublishing Works!","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50525062496530,"sku":"9781644570449","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_16c4ebac-93bd-4347-8201-a701b7c433c1.jpg?v=1731202049","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/a-child-shall-lead-them-a-joe-burgess-mystery-book-6-9781644570449","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
