In this promising true crime story of big tech combatting human trade by Noel Thomas and Rob Suggs, Dark Traffic ushers the public into the next phase of anti-trafficking efforts to stop what has evolved into a 150 billion dollar industry involving a complex network of organized crime trafficking sex, labor, and human organs. It has become an all too prevalent and pervasive presence with a world wide grip reaching out to seize the vulnerable, powerless, and marginalized through the Internet and the dark web.

Not your average book on trafficking—this is an exclusive look at the side of human trafficking you’ve never known, and how technology is being used to fight the war. Because the game has changed, and we must change with it.

As co-founder and CEO of Dark Watch, author Noel Thomas has led United States law enforcement and the judicial system onto the new battleground, where high-tech data analysis is changing how criminals are caught and prosecuted. Offering an insider’s view on the battle, Dark Traffic is Noel Thomas’s plea to a public primarily unaware of the destruction and close proximity of trafficking, seeking to pull back the curtain of what’s happening in our own backyards and ignite a righteous anger that calls readers to step up, learn more, and do more.

“This book was written to bridge the information gap,” Thomas writes, “and, consequently, the outage gap. Lives are destroyed in large numbers, and we need to raise an army of awareness and determination to fight this enemy who is thriving in the shadows of our culture.” More than just a report from the battlefield, Dark Traffic is an urgent call for more people to join in the fight.
