Zenobia: The Patriot Way — Bob Adamov

In 1991, a young Emerson Moore is given his first major investigative reporting assignment and becomes ensnarled in the midst of the Serbian-Croatian war in Vukovar, Croatia. Moore soon finds himself in the crosshairs of the blood-thirsty Serbian paramilitary commander Marko Marinkovic, known also as "the Vuk" (Serbian for "Wolf"), and his wolf pack. While committing heinous atrocities against the Croatians, the Vuk becomes involved in international human trafficking and covets a beautiful, young Croatian orphan girl, whom Moore tries to protect. The story advances to present time with Moore enjoying life in the Lake Erie islands resort village of Put-in-Bay when a woman's murder and the disappearance of two teenagers entangle him in the world of international human trafficking. Filled with an array of colorful characters, Zenobia bursts forcefully with action and intrigue, while at the same time casting attention upon human rights violations that often result from human trafficking.
