An accidental sleuth. A web of organised crime. A fast-paced thriller in the world of modern-day slavery.
Karen Hamm is a researcher who has been investigating corruption in Africa where she's made powerful enemies. While at the airport on her return home, she observes a priest passing a bribe at passport control. He is accompanying two children on a flight to Amsterdam.
Karen has seen the man before and knows he's not a priest. Suspecting the children are being abducted, she secretly takes photos.
Safely back in the UK, Karen reports her suspicions to the Dutch police but when no CCTV is found of the priest and children arriving in Amsterdam, she suspects a cover-up. Compelled to do something herself, she decides to find the kids and bring the traffickers to justice.
It is a reckless decision that draws her into a dangerous world of organised crime, and as feelings of vengeance spiral out of control she is forced to examine her true motives behind her mission to rescue the kids.
