“The Price of a Person: Inside the Shadow World of Human Trafficking and Drug-Gang Predators” is a gripping exposé of one of the most profitable and least confronted crimes in the world. This book pulls readers into a hidden economy where drug gangs have learned that human beings are more valuable than cocaine. Through powerful storytelling and hard facts, it reveals how women are trapped through lies, debt, and fear, how migrants are turned into forced labor, and how children become targets in a market driven by demand and protected by silence.

Moving across cities like Medellín, border towns, tourist districts, and illegal mining zones, the book shows how trafficking operates like a corporation, with recruiters, handlers, financiers, and political protection. It exposes the role of corruption, weak enforcement, and public denial in allowing this industry to grow. This is not a distant problem or a rare crime. It is happening in plain sight, fueled by tourism, migration crises, and global indifference. Written in clear, forceful language, this book is both an education and a warning. It asks a hard question: what is the true cost when a society allows people to be bought, sold, and discarded? Once you start reading, it becomes impossible to look away.
