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.

Two New 5* Amazon Reviews for Known to Social Services


WOW; two new 5* reviews today;
I always knew that there was another side to the stories telling of social workers’ incompetence in the horrific stories of neglect and abuse that flood our newspapers. I know this because I have friends that are social workers, and I know why they do their job and how hard it is for them to carry on in the face of the derision of their critics and the unwillingness of some of their clients to engage with the help that will lift them out of their despairing situations.
‘Known to Social Services’ at last rebalances the perception that is widely held of social workers as uncaring, interfering busybodies that are willing to break up families at the drop of a hat.
It is a page-turning, gripping read that will leave you feeling immense sorrow, not only for the vulnerable humanity within its pages, but for the social workers who daily give their all to try and mend a society that is fractured beyond healing.
Buy it, read it, be enlightened. Posted by W.S.
