Produktbeschreibung

Eleven-year-old Vasya Andrejevich Gergiev was abandoned by his mother and left at a Polish orphanage. Tomek Markovic adopts the boy and the two move to Prague. But Markovic is not what he seems. He is a pedophile and part of an organization that supplies children to wealthy clients in Europe. Vasya undergoes the horrendous transformation of becoming a child prostitute, suffering abuse from clients and Markovic himself. Yuri Seminkov, an undercover police officer, infiltrates the organization, acting as an accountant. Seminkov arranges the purchase and sale of the children while obtaining evidence to dismantle the prostitution ring and put its monsters behind bars. Witness to - and powerless to stop - the children's training sessions, Seminkov arranges to have Vasya stay in his room. Pretending to have the same sick appetites as the men he works for, Seminkov is able to offer the boy small respites from his living hell. Vasya approaches a man in the streets of Prague, as he's trained to do. Philip Page, a reputable businessman decides to take the boy back to his hotel and to his wife, Jennifer, in order to provide a means of escape for Vasya. The couple smuggle Vasya out of Prague, but Markovic is not about to give up his prized possession easily. As Philip and Jennifer attempt to give Vasya a normal life, his captors will track their every move. As this cat and mouse game plays itself out, everyone will discover a dark secret that threatens to destroy them all. About the Author: Born, raised, and still living in Auckland, New Zealand, Morgan Bruce began writing in 1996 and released his first book in 2009. Having married in 1971 and eventually raised two daughters as a solo father, he now has four wonderful grandchildren. As well as being an author, Morgan Bruce is also a musician and educator. As a result, some of the characters in his books are modelled on teachers, parents, and pupils he's known over his 44 years in education, and music and sport figure prominently in his writing. This latest book - Intervention - is the second part of the seven-part 'Alexei, Accidental Angel' series. Generally calm in nature, Morgan Bruce is happy to let life flow and observe it from the sidelines, so to speak. This sense of contentment is perhaps indicative of his way of viewing the world, and is exemplified by the fact that not only has he lived in the same house for over 37 years, but, until his recent retirement, remained in the same employment for 34 years.
