JUST BUSINESS, NEVER PERSONAL.
Thirty years after fighting crime and corruption in the

activities as they try to rescue a niece kidnapped into sex trafficking and
online pornography by Russian gangsters in Boston. Dale and Frank follow a
treacherous trail into the dangerous and violent international sex trade that
also exposes Frank’s tragic family history in Africa and more violent threats
closer to home in Montreal. It starts with a phone call to Frank the Fixer and
leads us through a complicated network of gangsters and Mafia families in their
murderous competition for the lucrative business of sex trafficking and online
pornography. A secretive Montreal Mafia figure is assassinated and deals are
made to extricate the innocent young victims from competing interests. Tough
tactics and insider knowledge are required, but more violence and murders
cannot be avoided.
