Have you ever wondered what happens to missing children? Are they dead? Are they still alive somewhere? This book will give you an insight as to where they might be---in your basement, the house next door, a vacant building….you should be more aware of the possibilities after reading this book.
A FEW TEASERS:
It’s just not every day you find a girl as pretty as you are in the library looking up child trafficking.
Claire instantly felt sick to her stomach. “Child prostitution rings?
It’s all so real, and it’s all happening, here of all places!
“There… there is a man in my house who has been holding some kids captive.
Those kidnappings! The child trafficking circles! He did it all!”
He had this full gang of guys that helped him kidnap the kids and transport them from one place to another.
They had taken care of Sam’s companion, the one they found in the neighboring house.
She was shocked to see people protesting outside her house against child trafficking and shouting “Put the criminal behind the bars…Put the criminal behind bars…”
“Blair London has written thrillers that will rank with Clive Cussler, Jack Higgins, and Stephen J. Cannell. Can’t wait to be starring in the movie adaptations of these books.”- Matthew McConaughey (actor)
“Blair London hits all the right notes with her books. Her characters are alive with passion and the scenes are vivid. Blair needs to keep the books coming and make a character especially for me.” - Connie Britton (actress)
“Blair London is a new author with a zest for storytelling that grapples real life issues in her novels. These books are great stories as well as issues that confront society and I highly recommend her books and eagerly await her next book.” - Patricia Heaton (The Middle, Everybody Loves Raymond)
“Children Below Us: Child Trafficking is a novel that every parent should read. Blair London deals with an issue that is too often swept under the rug when talking about America’s missing children. We can use more authors like her.” - John Walsh (America’s Most Wanted)
“Blair London has put a novel spin on serious problems facing American society in her books. I hope she keeps up the work in her upcoming books. These books are great works of fiction but address issues that dominate the news daily. Great job Blair!” - Megan Kelly (Fox News)
Claire’s jaw dropped to the floor when she saw photos of houses just minutes away from her own quaint little childhood neighborhood. Most of them were pitifully run down, covered in graffiti, and many had been vandalized. In fact, some had even been burned to the ground. Claire recognized a home that had supposedly housed fourteen missing children at one time, and her stomach churned again in total disgust. Once again, she wondered what kind of person would do such a vile thing, and why.
She was so consumed in the various articles and wrapped up in reading personal stories on the issue, that she didn’t notice a young man sit down beside her until he began a fake cough, drawing the attention of the horse-faced librarian. She scowled at him, and pressed her finger to her lips, and he nodded in way of apology. But then he looked over at Claire’s screen, and raised his eyebrows.
“Not into Facebook?”
Claire smiled at the joke, and felt more compelled to talk to him. “As much as the next person.”
The man looked closer at her screen, leaning over her shoulder to see better. “What, are you a cutthroat reporter or something?”
“No!” Claire shook her head quickly. “This isn’t for work. I’m just interested. I’ve been seeing a lot of this stuff in the news lately.”
The man smiled. “Well, pardon me, madam. It’s just not every day you find a girl as pretty as you are in the library looking up child trafficking. I’d imagine anyone interested in that sort of awful thing would be a detective like me. And if they weren’t, they would have to be some hunched and grey old woman who probably had only two teeth. And maybe a prosthetic nose, too.”
