Someone's Little Angel

Who could be worse than Fred and Rosemary West, Robert Black or Ian Brady and Myra Hindley? Meet Brenda, Fat Alec and Gregor Zimmel, then decide. Follow Chief Superintendent Dan Kernick as he unravels a horrific child exploitation ring. When the shoes of a girl, abducted two years ago, are found at the scene of a horrific double murder, an international police investigation is launched. Chief Superintendent Dan Kernick is reluctant to take on the case but dispatches a team to review the original investigation, while he and his sergeant fly to Austria to unravel why the missing girl's shoes have been discovered there. As the twin strands of the investigation unfold, child exploitation rings in England and mainland Europe are linked to the abductions and deaths of missing children. Set in the North of England and the Austrian Tyrol, this is a hard hitting story, with explicit descriptions of inhuman treatment of victims, uncovering a world where those victims and the perpetrators of horrific crimes are tied inexorably together in a web of cruelty, suffering, and perverse sexual gratification.
This book follows the investigation into an organised crime group involved in child exploitation and people trafficking. It describes, sometimes in graphic detail, the plight of victims. Through the back-stories of some of the characters, the book also addresses issues like the cycle of abuse which can turn victims into perpetrators and the means by which they learn to prey on vulnerable children and young people.
