Description
Christopher Jones offers a young Korean woman a ride to the Greyhound bus station, and within hours, his good deed plunges him into the dark, dangerous world of human trafficking.
Struggling with a painful divorce, unemployment, and responsibilities of caring for his mother and teenage daughter, Christopher is hardly prepared for the dangers that unfold. Helping the woman escape from sex traffickers puts him on the radar of Korean mobsters, exposing him to a cascade of unintended consequences. His life is in jeopardy, his reputation tarnished, and the police show no belief in his ordeal.
In a desperate bid for survival, Christopher teams up with his Iraq War Veteran friend and a preacher's widow. Together, they embark on a perilous journey, battling escalating terror, murder, and mayhem.
No Good Deed sheds light on the modern-day slavery of human trafficking, a grave issue affecting millions worldwide. Join Christopher as he courageously fights against the odds in this gripping tale of survival and redemption. Will he prevail against the shadows lurking in the darkest corners of society? Discover the heart-pounding truth in this riveting narrative of courage and sacrifice.

This is my first exposure to this author and indeed it didn’t disappoint. His main characters are well-flashed out, the plot timely to the point that is almost viewing a live news story about the ongoing commercial sexual exploitation crisis on the 6 o’clock news. It is a sobering look at the many ways our children are vulnerable.
This book is a fast-paced gritty tale which focuses on the true faces of the victims and those who care about them come to life. This gripping nightmare is real and ongoing and while told as fiction, is like looking through a mirror and seeing both the worst and best of mankind.
Thank you to NetGalley and Atmosphere Press who provided me with a copy of this book. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
