Samenvatting:

Vegas Concierge tells the tale of domestic sex trafficking in America through the riveting inside story of a decade-long investigation into sex trafficking, police corruption, and hip-hop music in Sin City.
A layered saga spanning more than a decade, Vegas Concierge moves from the luxury hotel rooms of the Las Vegas Strip to the inner offices of the Las Vegas police and some of Nevada's biggest news organizations. Using public and private records as well as exclusive, first-person accounts from primary sources, this book shows how prostitutes and pimps ply their trade, how law enforcement agencies trip up and their investigations become compromised, and how self-interest corrupts news organizations and the corridors of power. More than anything, this book examines the disregard American society has towards sex trafficking victims. Vegas Concierge ties together intersecting worlds via a diverse array of characters who played roles in this sordid tale about police corruption and incompetence, the price of celebrity, and the culture of Sin City.
