Trapped

by David McKeowen

Martin Hughes is a successful lawyer, but now more than anything he wants to win back the woman who left him. Viktor is also a lawyer, but he works as a cleaner. His happy life and career were destroyed in the former Yugoslavia, and now he is an illegal immigrant in London. His only consolation is provided by his little daughter, Suzana, and his girlfriend, Mila. But Mila has disappeared, and, meeting Martin by accident, the desperate Viktor begs him to help. Against his better judgment, Martin goes with Viktor to the police, and finds that this tentative step outside the boundaries of his comfortable existence has plunged him into an unknown world of trafficking, prostitution, violence and fraud. And it's too late to turn back...

I didn't really enjoy this book. I found it overcomplicated, repetitive and unbelievable.

I thought this was more entertaining than most of the movies I've watched in this genre. I really liked it and thought the way how all the different storylines clicked together was easy to understand. I don't normally read books in this genre so I was surprised that I liked it.

[Ann Tonks · Rating 3 out of 5]

A familiar world for the thriller writer with easter european criminals and everything from sex trafficking to cyber crime but with a hero who isn't too heroic and a story line that isn't too predictible. In other words, a thriller with some humanity.

The ending felt rushed, otherwise excellent
