Shattered Innocence - E-book - ePub

Ruby was sixteen when her identical twin sister, Rose, mysteriously disappeared from a crowded restaurant strip on Queensland's Gold Coast. Unwilling to let her sister's disappearance become another cold case, and unable to trust the system that had failed them, Ruby mounted her own chilling four year investigation hoping that it would lead her to those responsible for the disappearance of her sister. Growing up in a house filled with grief, proved too difficult for Ruby who left Australia to begin a new life in the US, where she fell in love with a man who had faced a similar life-changing tragedy. Together, they embarked on a crusade for justice which led them around the globe and into the dark, secret world of human trafficking where thousands of vulnerable children are abducted and sold into sexual servitude. At a time when crime figures show that 30, 000 Australians disappear every year, emerging crime writer, Jack Kregas, crafts with alarming accuracy the dark underbelly of this horrendous crime and follows a feisty young woman's dogged mission to save her sister from traffickers before it's too late.
