Slave Girls, a new series by bestselling author Louise Allen reveals a shocking modern-day scandal of County Lines - the single most dangerous form of systematic child abuse prevalent today.

Little Candace is growing up in a trap house. Her mum, abused by the local dealers and totally incapable of escaping her supply does nothing while her daughter is used as a mule and front for their business.

Completely unregistered, with no school and no one looking out for her, Candace is a ghost, living invisibly, constantly exposed to violence and horrendous, dark events happening in her home.

But she has a friend in young dealer Joey. And he has hatched a dangerous plan to get them both out of the grip of the dealers. It's a huge risk. And time is running out for them both.
