Prime Cut

One man against a ruthless human trafficking cartel and the violent men who make fortunes selling women and girls like livestock. They picked the wrong man.

A drive-by shooting at an animal rights rally in Lexington, Kentucky leaves two people dead--just one more numbing headline for the Nightly News at Six. But things turn personal when Patrick Grainger's daughter is wounded in the crossfire. Questions without answers lead Grainger on a wild ride through the back roads of North Carolina to a mammoth slaughterhouse and a multinational empire that feeds millions.

The murder and torture that has become routine in rural Tlaxcala is drawn to the streets of Frankfort, Kentucky and a sobering reality sets in--that no place in everyday America is safe from the evils of unlimited money, power, and greed.

An adrenaline-choked thrill ride, a tale of unspeakable tragedy and redemption, and the realization that the animals we should fear the most walk on two legs.
