When you think of Ireland, what do you think off ? Green shamrocks ? St. Patrick and the snakes ? A charmed isle where life is peaceful ? If any of these are your idea of what Ireland is this book will give you a very different picture of that country. This story is set on the border of Northern Island and Ireland in wild part of the country that has been peaceful sine the troubles. The same miseries that plagued this country also plagued Ireland. Greed in land speculations, failed business and a host of ghost developments. Into this mix throw in human trafficking along with every other criminal enterprise you can think of. The landscape is wild and so is the Eastern European evil master of all of this lawlessness.
This book will also take away any notion the prostitution is voluntary and victimless. It is neither. The woman at the heart of the story is a Croatian girl who has been trafficked and has been abused in every way you can think of. Lena Novak. She hangs her hope for escape on a customer, who in a previous life was IRA. Jack Fowler is still a renegade at heart, only now he traffics in selling real estate dreams to those who want to believe that they can have it all. Everything comes crashing down, the economy, his life and the story takes off from here.
There are many twists and turns in this book and I gurantee you will have fun following them. The book is well written and you will enjoy trying to untangle all the “knots” in the story. Read it and enjoy it !
