Avril grew up in Perth, Scotland, leaving school at 16 to work in the British Linen Bank where she met her husband, Bill. Her love of writing began at school where she was published for the first time, one of her poems appearing in the school magazine, The Young Barbarian. She also won first prize in a poetry competition in Year 4, spurring her on to continue writing both poetry and prose over the years.  

Joining Girlguiding UK in the late 1980’s, Avril was offered the opportunity to visit a Guide World Centre in Pune, India and so began a love affair with India, a passion that has remained with her to the present day. Travelling extensively through India, Avril and her Guiding friends encountered the problems of child trafficking, inspiring them to help in the rescue of young children, offspring of the trafficked women working in the brothels of Pune. This led to copious fundraising to raise money to build a children’s Centre, allowing the youngsters to live in safety, away from the violence of the red light area.

 Dr. Suman Sudra, a paediatrician working at a Government Hospital in Kolkata, India is asked to treat a child she suspects has been a victim of human trafficking. The child has been plucked to safety by a local rag-picker, from the 56 acres of rubbish that is Dhapa Landfill Site in Kolkata.  

When a second child in similar circumstances is brought into the children’s ward, her suspicions are confirmed.

This takes her into the murky, dangerous world of child trafficking, a place she knows only too well. Her quest to track down the trafficking ring responsible takes her back into their nefarious hands.

Can she, for the second time in her life, escape their clutches?
