The Trafficker: A Novel - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

“Drawing on first-hand testimony gathered while serving on the Ohio Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, Scott Gerber transforms real stories into a gripping thriller about the hidden world of human trafficking. This novel plunges readers into the dark undercurrents of exploitation—an insidious scourge unfolding inside seemingly ordinary homes and neighborhoods.”
---Diane Citrino, Esq., former Chair of the Ohio Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights

“As a former law-enforcement officer, I can say this story captures the reality of human trafficking with disturbing accuracy. The Trafficker is a gripping, unflinching look at the cases we encounter far too often, and the system struggling to protect our most vulnerable kids.”
---Tristin Kilgallon, author of Philly Warrant Unit

“If you believe that human trafficking is a problem only in backward, Third World countries, you're mistaken. There is a lot of it in the United States and it’s deadly serious but receives scant attention. I’m glad to say that the trafficking industry has a passionate enemy in Scott Gerber. His new novel The Trafficker is written with a law professor’s sharp eye for conflict and detail. It shines a bright light on this hidden national tragedy.”
---George C. Leef, author of The Awakening of Jennifer Van Arsdale: A Political Fable For Our Time

“A harrowing tale of the serial abuses inflicted on a trafficked young girl. Anxiety over her plight propels the reader forward.”
---Chaitram Singh, award-winning author of The Flour Convoy

When a fourteen-year-old girl is discovered by an off-duty police officer at a truck stop outside of Toledo, Ohio, she won’t reveal her name, what she’s doing, or where she’s from. A concerned juvenile court judge appoints acclaimed law professor Cameron Warren as the girl’s guardian ad litem and asks the professor to try to find out more about the girl so the court can return the girl to her home. What the professor learns along the way shakes him and the legal system designed to protect our children to the core.

The Trafficker is a rocket-paced legal thriller that provides heartbreaking insights into one of the most serious problems of our time.
