Description
Sixteen year old Cody, Eve's new client for her Formula Two Stocks Induction business, begs Eve to help a friend of hers. Jessica tells a heart rending story of being groomed by a gang for underage sex and being trafficked to other towns for the same purpose. But when Eve approaches Jessica's mental health team, her social worker claims that Jessica is making it up to gain attention and is basing all her wild stories on the recent widely publicised Rochdale and Rotherham grooming gang scandals.
No-one seems inclined to help Eve try to sort fact from fiction, not the local police, press or psychiatric services, so she is forced to do a deal with a team from ITV to find an investigative journalism team to help her go undercover to break open the secretive underworld that Jessica insists exist in their town.
So with Quinn as back up, Eve sets about posing as a fourteen year old girl in the hopes that a gang member will take the bait. And since Jessica is claiming that the men are all of Pakistani origin, Eve is uncomfortably aware that she will probably be accused of being a racist. To defend herself from this, she recruits her young Muslim male contact, Sahmir, to go undercover with her, and they set out with the aim of disproving the claims that their home town is the hotbed of yet another shocking grooming gang abuse ring. Unfortunately she can't tell any of her friends and work colleagues about what she is up to, and her increasingly odd behaviour is making them concerned. Add to this the pressures of a full Stocks calendar as she tries to gain both the National Points Championship and World Championship in the same year, and things were always bound to get out of control...

Advance Praise
5 stars – Rubina Bashir – Goodreads:
‘This book was a roller-coaster ride of emotions, intrigue and insight. I loved it and would recommend it to everyone. The characters were well developed, deep and realistic with a masterfully written plot and an eye opening message. This is one of the books that everyone really needs to read.’
5 stars – Michael A. Sisti – Amazon:
‘A very complex novel that kept my attention until the last word.’
5 stars – Patrick Denton – Amazon:
‘Kyle alternates between this based-on-reality storyline and a positive, uplifting story of Eve’s life in the world of Formula 2 racing. This duality kept my attention while educating me on a very uncomfortable topic that needs to be brought to light.’
5 stars – Amazon Customer – Amazon:
‘A realistic picture is painted of the kind of bureaucratic sloth and denial that has characterised real life responses to the problem of child trafficking. Probably intended in part as an educational tool (there's a long list of helplines at the end) it is nevertheless a fast pace thriller with good plot and character development. Well worth reading even if (like me) you don't follow stock car racing.’
5 stars – Highlander – Amazon:
‘This is a very
disturbing book - it gave me nightmares. The pain these girls are in
emotionally, and the danger they are in physically pulls at my heart… if you or
anyone you know is in danger of being groomed in this way, you should
definitely read this. It makes very clear the difference between loving
behaviour and controlling/grooming 'love'.
A very tough read. Although, given the subject
matter, that's hardly surprising.’
5 stars – Neil Carstairs – Amazon:
‘Kyle’s strength is in balancing the darkness of one side of the novel with the lighter side of Eve’s working, racing and domestic life. This is the fifth book in the series and although it took a little while to get used to cast of characters already established in previous books that didn’t hamper my reading and the race for the F2 championship drew me in as much as the investigation side.’
