Book Description
A speeding BMW leaves a dead pedestrian in its wake and leads police to the corpse of a young girl in a cellar. Detective Inspector Irene Huss's ensuing investigation draws her into the chilling world of sex trafficking. Göteborg, Sweden: The high-speed chase of a stolen BMW takes a chilling turn when the two police officers involved witness a gruesome hit-and-run. When they finally recover the abandoned vehicle, search dogs are unable to trace the thieves, but they do uncover an entirely different horror: the half-naked corpse of a young girl in a nearby root cellar. As Detective Inspector Irene Huss and her colleagues struggle to put the pieces together, they discover the man whose car was stolen—a retired police officer—is none other than the victim in the hit-and-run. Could it be a strange coincidence? Or is something larger at play? Meanwhile, the hunt for the girl’s killer leads Irene into the dark world of sex trafficking. An international criminal has arrived in Göteborg, and he’ll stop at nothing to expand his sinister operation.

Book Description
A Note from the Poet/Playwright: (BLACK) an adj. of the darkest color; without light; dark, evil, somber, dishonorable. Wow! I wanted to challenge these objectionable definitions, and show that out of DARKNESS comes: LIGHT, LOVE, GROWTH, BEAUTY and HEALING, too. (POEM) an imaginative composition in rhythmic or free verse lines is the genre of this choreopoem, that tells a TALL TALE, with a HINT of some TRUTH & REALNESS. (OLOGY) is an indication, or root word, a noun that defines various kinds of speech, writings, or a collection of writings, (e.g., eulogy or trilogy). In words of this type, the “-ology,” element is derived from the Greek noun – logos: speech, debate, narrative, account, and story, etc., etc.,). The suffix has the sense of a certain kind of speaking, writing, and/or storytelling. (MONOLOGUE) a dramatic composition with only one speaker; a long speech by one person. But BLACKPOEMOLOGUE includes eleven speakers. I am taking a few artistic licenses/liberties with this choreopoem.
