Review: Compelling look at prosecuting sex trafficking site

Sometimes the book ends but the story keeps going

“Taking Down Backpage: Fighting the World’s Largest Sex Trafficker,” by Maggy Krell (New York University Press)

Krell’s book illuminates how prosecutors build teams across several agencies to pursue complicated cases.
