Yasmin escapes Pakistan only to become a sex slave in Edinburgh. Adam is mugged for his smartphone and the special app he was developing. Hudud and Escape is a regular crime thriller where the oldest profession and new technology meet.
This 797 KB long eBook was written in 2013 and has an up to date feel. It is a story of today and features the shadier side of life in Edinburgh. This book is easy reading and follows both the struggles of Yasmin and Adam. The story of people trafficking is well known, so Yasmin's situation is not unique. The technology involved is so well explained that even a Windows user could understand.
The plot rolls along nicely and I enjoyed the drama as it unfolded. It had a nice British feel and the hope was always there that things would turn out well in the end. People work together and the right result comes with time. Because of this team work, the ending is not a surprise at all.
Hudud and Escape was an enjoyable read. It is a good book which I will vote 4 stars and ticks all the boxes. The brothel owner does have one very dark fantasy that I have not thought of before. This detail and the technology explained is a credit to the author as it gives his novel such depth.
