Beschreibung

One man against a ruthless human trafficking cartel and the violent men who make fortunes selling women and girls like livestock. They picked the wrong man. A drive-by shooting at an animal rights rally in Lexington, Kentucky leaves two people dead––just one more numbing headline for the Nightly News at Six. But things turn personal when Patrick Grainger’s daughter is wounded in the crossfire. Questions without answers lead Grainger on a wild ride through the back roads of North Carolina to a mammoth slaughterhouse and a multinational empire that feeds millions. The murder and torture that has become routine in rural Tlaxcala is drawn to the streets of Frankfort, Kentucky and a sobering reality sets in––that no place in everyday America is safe from the evils of unlimited money, power, and greed. An adrenaline-choked thrill ride, a tale of unspeakable tragedy and redemption, and the realization that the animals we should fear the most walk on two legs.
