When the seven-year-old daughter of their housekeeper is kidnapped and possibly sold into slavery, the two Americans vow to find her and bring her home. Since human trafficking is a major business in third world countries, few want to get involved in fear of reprisal. Setting out on their own in a foreign land becomes a major undertaking for the two men, who are pulled into the criminal underbelly of that trade market.
The two encounter major roadblocks, twists and turns, and both have to fight for their lives on several occasions. Their quest finally leads them to a mine on the other side of the country, and with help from the inside locate the missing girl.
The author does a great job in his descriptions, especially in showing the squaller in which these children slaves live. There are different subplots in the story which all come together at the end. I do have mixed feelings about the ending and think it could have been shortened. - unless, of course, the author is contemplating a sequel.
Even if this is a work of fiction, I've learned more about human trafficking and how widespread it is. I'd recommend "Vanished" to anyone interested in an edge of your seat roller coaster ride. Great job, Mark!… (mehr)
