The Takers and Keepers by Ivan Pope

 

Well, this was a dark one! 

Journalist Allen Kimbo is following a lead in Eastern Europe that is connected with people trafficking - both the traffickers themselves and their victims, 'the disappeared'. As he investigates deeper will things hit a little closer to home - we'll, I'm not going to tell you that am I. 

People trafficking is a terrible thing and this book will open your eyes even more to just how bad - honestly, at times it was hard to remember that this is a work of fiction. The author really knows his stuff and I applaud him for that as doing the research must have been an awful time. 

So, a dark read but, at just under 200 pages, one that is worth your time if you have the stomach for it. 

3.9/5*
