Southend

By Guy Allen

Southend weaves together two intense storylines of kidnapping, human trafficking, and murder, following intertwined lives and events that cross borders while exploring themes of survival, resilience, and mystery. Two Canadians returning from Arizona face unexpected upheaval-Kellie is abducted by a hitchhiking stranger, while Dusty arrives in Calgary to find his home and most of his belongings gone. Another thread introduces Kitch, a man searching for two young women who vanish soon after arriving in Vancouver. As Kitch and Dusty dig deeper, they uncover a network of crime and exploitation linked to a sham modelling agency preying on vulnerable women. All signs point to Southend, where gripping twists and a colourful cast of family characters unfold against striking yet unforgiving landscapes, making for a tense and thought-provoking reading dual narratives of kidnapping, human trafficking and murder involving intertwining lives and events that span borders and delve into themes of survival, resilience, and mystery.
