Just outside Toronto, a 14-year-old Canadian girl was auctioned on the internet for men to purchase by the hour. A young woman was taken by slave traders from an African war zone to Edmonton to earn greater profits by exploiting her in prostitution. A gang called Wolfpack recruited teenagers in Quebec and sold them for sex to high-profile men in the community. The global problem of human trafficking is only beginning to be recognized in Canada, even though it has been hidden in plain sight. In Invisible Chains, Benjamin Perrin, an award-winning law professor and policy expert, exposes cases of human trafficking, recording in-depth interviews with people on the front lines—police officers, social workers, and the victims themselves—and bringing to light government records released under access-to-information laws.

In January 2007, two boys were found in the home of Michael J. Devlin, a “nice enough guy” who managed a pizza parlor in Kirkwood, Missouri. One boy had been kidnapped four days earlier. The other, Shawn Hornbeck, had been missing for four years. How and why did this fifteen-year old, whose face appeared on thousands of milk cartons and “Have You Seen Me?” posters, stay with his abductor in plain view for four years, only an hour from his family home? From award-winning journalist Kristina Sauerwein comes this riveting story of the American kidnapping that startled the nation and catapulted the chilling reality of Stockholm Syndrome into the spotlight. Shawn had many opportunities to ask for help: he was left alone in his kidnapper's apartment many times, and had phone and Internet access. But he never tried to escape. This is the first time the full story has been told, complete with interviews with law enforcement, and top psychological experts; and a real-life happy ending.

Jacqueline is a young Creole slave in antebellum New Orleans. An unusual stranger who has haunted her dreams since childhood comes to stay as a guest in her master's house. Soon after his arrival, members of the household die mysteriously and Jacqueline is suspected of murder. Despite her fear of the stranger, Jacqueline befriends him and he helps her escape. While running from the slave catchers, they meet conjurers, a loup-garou, and a traveling circus of supernatural freaks. She relies on ancestral magic to guide her and finds the strength to conquer her fears on her journey."Vampires are terrifying creatures, driven by insatiable, cannibalistic hunger and murderous urges. I was glad to have one at my side..." So writes Michelle Renee Lane in her chilling and charming adventure INVISIBLE CHAINS. The unbridled horrors of Delta slave masters are met by the mysterious powers of supernatural creatures but human brutality can only be held at bay by the pure heart and pure magic of Lane's superb narrator.--Jewelle Gomez, author of THE GILDA"Lane's absorbing tale of a woman born into slavery, who learns to use magic passed down to her from ancestors to survive held my attention from page one to the end. The question of how to maintain a sense of sanity when living with brutality is handled with expert storytelling. The human need for freedom mingled with vampires, werewolves, and witches makes this a book you need to read."-Linda D. Addison, award-winning author of "How to Recognize a Demon Has Become Your Friend" and HWA Lifetime Achievement Award winner."A wonderfully written novel of dark magic and the strength and dignity of the human spirit." -- Tim Waggoner, author of THEY KILL "A thrilling, emotional tale set during one of the darkest periods in American history. Harrowing and human, Lane has teased black-girl magic entirely to life with her protagonist, Jacqueline, and created one of the best, 'classic' vampires I've yet seen!" -- Errick Nunnally - Author of LIGHTNING WEARS A RED CAPE and BLOOD FOR THE SUN"This book is like blood magic: dark yet beautiful and filled with pain."-Stephanie M.
