Brutal Silence
After narrowly escaping a seemingly random kidnapping by human traffickers while on vacation in Mexico, and then only at the death of another woman who escapes with her, Alex Harrington risks everything, including her life to find justice for the women she was unable to save. She returns home to the southern town of Dalton, North Carolina, and when another young woman seeks refuge in the free clinic she runs, she discovers that human traffickers are operating even in her own hometown. She teams up with a young reporter in search of his breakthrough story, and the two set out on a journey that takes them from swanky southern country clubs to seamy Mexican cartel compounds. Together they incite the wrath of Emilio Vargas, a Mexican crime boss and sociopath who cares more for horses than for people and who aspires to build the largest human trafficking network in the world. When the trail leads back to those she loves the most, Alex learns that sometimes it’s the most innocent and ordinary places that hide the most terrible secrets.
Reviews
Reader's Favorite

Brutal Silence by Margaret Dardess is an intense novel about, unfortunately, a very real and widespread crime perpetrated all over the world. The scenes and narrative in the book provide insights into how vast this network of human trafficking is, along with the harsh realities of the very young girls, and even children, who are forced into this trade for various reasons and circumstances. Although this is a grim subject, Margaret has tackled it with just the right amount of realism and sensitivity. I hope a book like this motivates other readers to fight this crime, just like Alex does. A very well written book that I would highly recommend reading.
