As if ripped from today's headlines, Sex and Souls for Sale is a relevant read. No less a public menace than illegal drugs-nor any other kind of organized crime-child sex trafficking is a fact of life and needs to be discussed and exposed. While difficult to comprehend, it is found right here in modern America. Private Investigators "Mack" Mackey and Bob Higgins are once again on the case as they thread the needle between law enforcement and a Russian crime family. Our principal characters are flawed: a corrupt police lieutenant, a conman and extortionist with a chip on his shoulder, and his girlfriend, a reformed drug addict with a mysteriously checkered past. All three dig deep within themselves to rescue the children. Come along on this perilous trip through the criminal underworld set in the New York/New Jersey Area and learn about this shocking crime: child sex trafficking. Author David B. Watts began his career as a city police detective then county investigator in the turbulent sixties. Several more years of investigations for an insurance company ultimately launched him into a lifetime of investigation work in the private sector. For over four decades he and Linda, his wife of fifty-nine years, have been licensed private investigators. Most of their assignments were in the busy New York City to Philadelphia corridor, but they worked wherever their cases took them. Respected among his peers, David, a Certified Legal Investigator, held the office of Northeast Regional Director of The National Association of Legal Investigators, as well as memberships in the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners and the American Society for Industrial Security. His readers benefit from David's lifetime of investigative experience which comes through in his writing. It was Mark Twain who said, "Write what you know." David does just that.
