The Cha Cha Babes, Celia and Marcy, are back again in a riveting thriller! This time the baby boomers and accidental sleuths have walked into the one of the most brutal Mafia enterprises - sex trafficking. Worldwide, sex trafficking brings in an estimated $150 billion each year and it's growing.
When Celia and Marcy are kidnapped, they're forced to become madams/spies for their sex trade prisoners. Managing to escape, they face hard decisions: Do they go back to life in their comfy Florida retirement community? Or do they take on their captors to find justice and freedom for as many abused prisoners as they can. When they choose the treacherous path, they drag Allison, Celia's daughter, and Celia's beau, Stanton, into the fray.
Cha Cha Babes Dance with the Devil presents a realistic picture of a worldwide ring where young women and children are kidnapped, lured, coerced and forced into prostitution. It could be your child, neighbor, or niece who become trapped in this dark web. In a bizarre hideout, Marcy and Celia must make hard choices. They are keenly aware that the prisoners are from all walks of life, precious human beings whom many of us have seen in posters in airports, on billboards, and in truck stops. Still, many Americans think that sex trafficking only occurs in foreign countries, never the United States.
Moving through a pot-holed, arduous journey toward justice, Celia and Marcy find similar ways to preserve their sanity through their Cha Cha rules and laughter. There are moments of black humor and slivers of pretense that everything will work out. Yet, death threats loom large. Their maddening search reveals strengths, weaknesses, and how extreme pressure impacts their personalities. Although they've chosen a noble crusade, they don't know if they and their families will live or die.
Through the art of fiction Metman's fast-paced narrative sheds light on the sex trade industry and shows us how sex trafficking thrives around the world. Celia and Marcy strive to become ingenious in their harsh pursuit. Will they succeed?
