International Writers Inspiring Change (iWIC) presents: The Bangkok Girl, by Sean O'Leary

Zoe, a young Australian girl travels from Bangkok to Tokyo for work. She goes missing. Trafficked by the Yakuza into sex work.

Bangkok-based, Australian PI, Lee Jenson is hired to find her. He travels to Tokyo for the first time as Zoe did. Following her timeline. He hits a brick wall, gets bashed by gangsters and finds the cultural differences hard to fathom. He is a stranger in a strange town.

One thing about Jenson though, he never gives up. But can he find Zoe as the Yakuza move her from place to place, before she’s lost forever. From Bangkok to Tokyo to Hong Kong and back to Bangkok, Lee Jenson battles his own demons and the feared Yakuza to try and bring Zoe home.
