A Thriller with Heart,
By
This review is from: The Trade: A Novel (Hardcover)
Matt Lowell is a single guy who lives on the beach in Malibu and loves his dog. And he needs that dog, because as far as women are concerned, he has a problem with commitment. As the story opens we find Matt racing home to rescue said dog from a raging wildfire. The area has been closed off, but that's not stopping Matt. As he dashes though the surf, he finds an abandoned newborn. He picks up the baby and continues he dash home. Unfortunately, the child dies before he can get help.The police are quick to put Matt directly in the crosshairs of their suspicion. Then, when the baby's teenage mother is found dead, they galvanize their sights on Matt even as Matt begins to feel a sense of duty to this perished mother and her child. He can't leave the situation alone. He can't rest until he finds out what had happened to them and why. Then, while in the woods look for clues, he comes upon more children, runaways. But runaways from whom? One of the children is ill and he takes her home, hoping she might be the key to the mystery. He calls and asks his ex-girlfriend Ginn Chang for both support and legal advice. He has never really gotten over her, though she makes it very clear she has no intention of picking up where they left off, as she is definitely aware of his commitment problem. Then he calls a doctor friend to help with the girl and they find that the child is afraid of men, and, if that isn't enough, that night someone tries to break into his home and kidnap the child. What has Matt gotten himself into? He's about to find out as his investigation drags him into the underbelly of the criminal world and eventually leads to some very bad, very connected hombres who endanger not only Matt, but those he holds dear. In my opinion Ms. Palmer has written a powerful story, one that should open a lot of eyes. I know it did mine. I always thought slavery ended with the Civil War. Well, apparently it didn't. This is a thriller with a message, a thriller with heart, a thriller not to be missed.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!,
This review is from: The Trade: A Novel (Hardcover)
I am a huge fan of Shirley Palmer, have read every one of her books (Danger Zone; Veiled Journey; Lioness) and I have to say this is her best yet! Palmer reveals an underworld that is shocking and eye opening. Highly recommended!
