Caught in Traffick

Freya Barrington's previous book, 'Known to Social Services', gave us a frighteningly realistic insight into the harrowing world of the child protection social worker. Based on her own experiences, the book was a revelation and occupied the number one spot for social work books on Amazon UK within weeks of release and went on to win the autobiography/biography/memoir section of the 2015 London Book Festival and received an Honourable Mention at the 2016 Paris Book Festival.

Freya’s latest novel, 'Caught in Traffick' is the sequel to 'Known to Social Services', and continues the story of social worker Diane Foster. Set mainly in Thailand; Diane and her partner Ethan are on a working holiday, blissfully unaware of the dangers lurking against the beautiful backdrop of white beaches and glorious monuments. When four-year-old Darcie Taylor is abducted from a crowded beach, Diane and Ethan find themselves sucked into the horrifying world of child trafficking. When Darcie’s abduction is followed closely by the kidnap of another child, there can be no doubt that a well co-ordinated gang is operating in the area. A chance meeting with the Director of Social Services Nicholas Bishop leads to a shocking revelation about the man who is still Diane’s most senior manager. Together, they become embroiled in a dangerous web of subterfuge and corruption, where organised crime syndicates and depraved sex offenders engage in a desperate battle of wits against those dedicated to their downfall. Trapped within this labyrinth of immorality are the children, who are sacrificed on the altar of greed and perversion for financial gain. With the gang’s tentacles reaching across to England, Diane is shocked to find herself faced with some old adversaries. With gripping twists and turns, hair-raising rescue attempts and heart breaking tragedies which leave you in despair; 'Caught in Traffick' will open your eyes to the disturbing underground world of child trafficking.


Caught in Traffick was awarded an Honorable Mention in the General Fiction Section of the 2016 London Book Festival.

UK Itinerary 16th to 20th March

I am pleased to be visiting the UK for a week of engagements. I will be giving radio interviews, undertaking book signings and speaking to social work students in several Universities.

Here is my itinerary;

Monday 16th March – interview with BBC Radio Sheffield in the afternoon at approximately 2.30 pm

Tuesday 17th March – visit to the University of Derby to speak to social work students and sign books.

Thursday 19th March – interview with BBC Radio Lincolnshire at 10.00 am; This will be followed by a visit to the University of Lincoln to speak to social work students and sign books.

Friday 20th March – visit to the University of Huddersfield to speak to social work students and sign books.

I am very much looking forwards to meeting fellow social workers and sharing with them, how my debut novel, Known to Social Services came to be written. There will be Q&A sessions at all the talks, so plenty of time to find out more about the book and what inspired me to write it.

I do have some limited availability for this week; if you are interested in booking a speaking engagement or would like to arrange book signings, please contact me at freyabarrington@gmail.com

Many thanks
