I'd recommend this to those who enjoy legal thrillers and stories that raise serious emotions about tragic social issues --Books I Think You Should Read This is a well researched, fictional book that shines a light on one of society's more despicable cockroaches, human trafficking. .. . The book is written as a novel but sheds light on a societal issue that is frequently ignored. There is action and characters you can like as well as a cast of deplorable villains. . . . I strongly recommend it. --Pick of the Literate The ending is filled with twists, turns and with a final scene that will make you wonder who lives, who survives and the result of their cases. Authors Mike Papantonio and Alan Russell take readers inside the minds of sex traffickers, deceptions, bribes, betrayals and one girl named Lily who was used as a pawn as so many were, are, and will be in the future if more eyes are not on it, if every state and country are not vigilante and is some countries stop looking away from what is happening right in front of them. --Just Reviews This would make a great film. It is a fast-paced legal thriller. The focus is on the grim topic of sex trafficking. --Jim Holroyd blog Inhuman Trafficking is a thriller about a timely and important issue that's all too real: the insidious business of human trafficking. --@JillTatter The characters were interesting and you wanted to see the good guys prevail and the bad guys get their comeuppance. This was a legal thriller with some action thrown in, a thoroughly enjoyable read. --@books.tea.happy Reviews, features, lists, excerpts A propulsive legal thriller fueled by the righteous indignation of a legal team fighting against one of the darkest scourges of modern society: the invisible epidemic of sex trafficking and sexual slavery. Through Machiavellian courtroom maneuvering, undercover investigation, and military-style interventions fraught with personal danger, trial attorney Nick 'Deke' Deketomis and his team of life-scarred legal heroes put everything on the line. --William L. Myers, Jr., trial attorney and author of the bestselling Philadelphia Legal Series In this well-crafted and suspenseful legal thriller, the reader will witness how innocent victims are manipulated by the criminal world of human trafficking and the atrocities they must endure. --Stephen W. Frey, author of The Chairman and Trust Fund As someone who has previously tackled the subject matter, I can say that Inhuman Trafficking is on the nose with its realism and at times disturbing depiction of a serious problem in the USA and other countries. Authors Papantonio and Russell deliver a fast-paced legal thriller with hard-hitting conflict--sometimes 'Bondian' action!--that introduces an engaging team of protagonists and an equally despicable group of baddies. --Raymond Benson, author of In the Hush of the Night and Blues in the Dark Praise for Law and Addiction The legal maneuvering, courtroom drama, and brisk pace make this a satisfying tale of greed, corruption, lust, and murder. --Publishers Weekly The author's passion for this issue is nothing short of eye-opening. Moreover, the main character's refusal to quit, even when his own life is in imminent peril, and his determination to survive in order to see that justice is served makes for a thrilling read. --Florida Bar Journal Law and Addiction could be used as a guide for how to successfully win a complicated torts case. While the thriller is filled with legal strategy and facts about opioids, Papantonio skillfully weaves all that information into a narrative where the action never lets up. Besides 'show don't tell, ' the best advice given to authors is 'write what you know.' Mike Papantonio certainly does that, one reason why his legal thrillers are so riveting. --Woman Around Town, New York Press Club Award winner [Law and Addiction] is a great legal novel with a stellar story and a hero in Jake. He is determined to get this case done and avenge his brother's death and all the others that are suffering. Author Mike Papantonio being a lawyer really makes reading this book very realistic. It took the reader on a journey and it showed how hard lawyers really have to work on their cases. You root for Jake and the team to win this case. --Red Carpet Crash
