The Lane — Karen Woods

Elsie Barker has got in over her head and has disappeared off the face of the earth. Her son Johnny, fresh out of prison and hoping to go straight, attempts to track her down only to discover that his teenage sister is missing as well. Everything points to a local gangland boss with an eye for young girls and a sideline in sex trafficking.
Will Johnny find his mother and sister before it's too late? Can he topple the perverted crime boss and save his family? And what of his ex-girlfriend who dumped him when he was inside?
Karen Woods returns with a gritty account of the sex trade; the abusers and the victims.
