Synopsis "The Heart of the Dragon"

The Heart of the Dragon is the story of Eleanor and Victoria Robinson, a mother and her young daughter, two Americans vacationing in Hong Kong. It is a harrowing tale of forced abduction and sexual slavery. The two women are kidnapped by a corrupt customs official and sold to an evil doctor, through whose clinic pass hundreds of trafficked women and children each year. Juxtaposed against the horrible plight of Eleanor and Victoria are the desperate efforts of two Interpol agents, Gabriel Benson and Nasih Kubasi, who struggle against a closing window of time to interpret a handful enigmatic clues as to what has become of the two women. A mysterious coded list of possible transfer points and a list of Swiss bank accounts are all the Interpol agents and the parade of local detectives, criminologists and crime fighters around the globe have to aid them in their desperate attempt to rescue the two women. Gabe and Nasih always seem to be one step behind in their frantic effort to rescue Eleanor and Victoria from the black world of Human Trafficking and the Global Sex Trade. From Washington DC and Hong Kong, the story wends its way through China, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Egypt, and finally, to its heartbreaking climax in Morocco. In The Heart of the Dragon, two lives hang in the balance and Gabe and Nasih cannot afford to make any mistakes. This compelling novel of international intrigue brings to vivid life the dark underworld of Human Trafficking, Black Market Organ Trafficking, and White Slavery. Although The Heart of the Dragon is a work of fiction, it is based on contemporary crimes that are very real and that, unfortunately, happen every day all over the world. The reader cannot fail to be moved by the sheer misery engendered by these crimes against humanity.
